We could publish lots of blogs and social media posts agonising about the climate emergency, how important it was to do ‘something’, and our target to be at some indeterminate point in the future.

Alternatively, we could get on with it.

This is the next step on the journey to 2025, converting our van fleet to electric. This van will be charging via on site chargers, which are powered for much of the year by our 85kWp solar panel install.

We’ll post again once it’s had the graphics added. Who knew Net Zero could look so good?

06/02/2023

It's only early February and yet, we already have customers from the Scottish Highlands and the south coast of England reporting tick bites!

We know we're repeating ourselves, but we cannot emphasise enough! The absolute number one priority is not what you do when you get bitten, it's don't get bitten.

Use a good quality repellent on all areas of exposed skin, check pets, particularly at this time of year, and stick to established tracks and paths if at all possible.

A very Happy Christmas to all our customers, suppliers, and friends, and thanks for your support this year.

It has been wonderful to have the first normal travel season for three years; seeing repellent production lines at full speed was so encouraging.

We'll be closed for holidays from 5pm, December 23 until 8.00am, January 4, 2023. We wish you a restful, joyful holiday (and lots of chocolate), and look forward to resuming the conversation in 2023.

We hear all sorts of stories and tales about how to avoid mosquito bites without using insect repellent! Rubbing garlic behind your ears, anyone?

One suggestion that comes up fairly regularly is certain vitamins and food supplements can make your body repel mosquitoes.

The reality is this, like so many other tales, is a combination of some flaky science, amplified by years of telling and retelling, and some dubious claims on packaging.

The article on the link is a neat debunking of the suggestion that Vitamin B1 (or other dietary supplements) act to repel mosquitoes.

If you need to repel anything that's small, flying or crawling, and thinks you're dinner, you need a good quality, proven, tested insect repellent. https://buff.ly/2Aa5vnP for our range.

A “systemic repellent” that makes your whole body unappealing to biting insects certainly sounds good, but is just a myth.

It doesn't just relate to mosquitoes. If it's flying, and if it's biting, or it's crawling and it's biting, follow the SWAT!

Tick season is still with us. All usual rules still apply:
1. Try to stick to paths where possible.
2. Tuck trousers into socks. Fashion catastrophes are infinitely preferable to tick bites!
3. Use a good quality tick repellent on any exposed areas of skin.
4. If you sit on the ground, try to sit on a coat or rug rather than directly on grass.
5. Make sure you check yourself, your children and your pets regularly. Remember, the tick may have gone walkabout so it could be under areas of skin covered by clothing.

How do you react when when you find a tick crawling on you? Found this horror crawling on arm yesterday! Just goes to show you can be so careful and still be caught by a tick. Thankfully it hadn’t bitten me…or I really would have had a meltdown! 🫣😱always do your tick checks 👌

On a more serious note…

At the finish line in Tbilisi we came across this incredible vehicle with a heartbreaking story. This car belonged to a Ukrainian family who were trapped in the Russian attack on Mariupol. During one of the brief “ceasefires” this family managed to luckily escape. The car has “children” written on the bonnet and flew a white flag as they fled the city. However they were still attacked as they tried to escape. On their perilous journey the family was both rammed by a large army vehicle and shot at (see dents and bullet holes). However fortunately they was able to escape mostly unharmed.

Thankfully this car has been put up for auction and has managed to raise enough money to buy the Ukrainian family a safe home in Poland. It’s times like this when we realise how lucky we are to be free and able to travel the world. One of the charities that we are raising money for on our rally is the DEC Ukrainian Humanitarian Appeal. We really appreciate your donations, they go a long way in helping families like this who are in danger under the Russian invasion.

Slava Ukraini. 🇺🇦💙💛

It's time for the annual posting of one of our most favourite videos; the completely bonkers 1 minute midge challenge.

Sorry it if makes you spend the rest of the day itching, but it is a classic illustration of just how bad the midges can be on the West Coast.

We suggest a quieter, more relaxed trip. Just make sure you pack Trek Midge and Tick.

Looking for a repellent that will put off the most determined bugs and beasties?

You know, those mosquitoes that think jumping around, flapping your arms or running around chasing them with rolled up newspapers is a chat up line. The bugs who seem to have made it their life's work to bite you!

You need our Trek 50 DEET mosquito repellent! Simply the strongest repellent we can sell, it's ideal for tropical or other high risk areas, and will be effective against anything that's tiny, flying, and thinks you're dinner.

Don't just take our word for it though. Customer review from last year for Trek 50 and its sister, Trek Ultra. Full details on the link: https://buff.ly/3nFBcP9

This is behind a paywall, but there are options to access the content for free.

The #1 priority is Don't Get Bitten! Stay on established paths where you can, and certainly stay out of long grass, ferns and bracken. If you can tuck your trousers into your socks, that's a big help. If you stop and sit down, try and sit down on a coat or rug, not directly on the grass. Wear a good quality, proven insect repellent on all areas of exposed skin. If you need to wear sun cream as well, apply the sun cream first, leave it for 10 minutes to let it absorb into your skin and then apply the repellent on the top.

When you get home, check yourself, your children, and your pets, and always remember that a tick may move before it bites, so check areas that were under clothes.

Ever watched Top Gear and thought 'They must be mad!'?

Well this makes all those Top Gear stunts and adventures pale into insignificance. The Mongol Rally 'Motoring Stupidity on a Global Scale' is back for 2022 and we're supporting the Buccaneering Badgers team as they attempt to drive a rubbish car huge distances.

Three rules:
1. If (when?) it all goes wrong, you're on your own!
2. Raise £1000 for charity.
3. The more rubbish the car, the better! A one litre engine is ideal.

Good luck team, we'll be watching!

If you have a moment to spare, check out the Mongol Rally website for a full understanding of how bonkers this event really is: https://www.theadventurists.com/mongol-rally/

What do you do if you need to apply insect repellent and sun cream?

Put the suncream on first and rub it in. Wait 10 minutes or so to allow the sun cream to be fully absorbed into your skin, then spray the insect repellent on top.

Always follow the instructions on each bottle and if you are nervous, test on a small area of skin before more widespread use.

Loads of information from NHS 24 on tick bites.

The #1 priority: don't get bitten! Use a good quality tick repellent, keep your trousers tucked into your socks if you can, and keep away from areas of long grass. If you're sitting on the grass, try to sit on something, rather than directly on the grass.
