Hi all

I’m planning to cycle the Fjord Norway route in August and keep reading about the mosquitoes there.

As someone from Central Europe, I’ve hardly any experience with midges and mosquitoes. When are they most of a nuisance on a long cycle tour, and how can you protect yourself against them?

Do I need a mosquito net over my head, special glasses, and which repellent is best?

Is it a problem for your eyes whilst cycling, or only during short breaks, or is it mainly a problem at night whilst sleeping?

I’m cycling without a tent and plan to stay in cabins at campsites and in hotels.

Thanks for any tips and help.
