Well, it was a week, but, I survived. After two epi-pens and a dose of antihistamine on Friday night, I was pretty shot on Saturday so all the exercise I did was my, now familiar, walk to the chemist for some more epi-pens! Sunday was paddle day, and we were a party of four this week, with Wildey back from the wilds. We lapped out to the Tollgate Islands then headed north to Judges Beach and back via Snapper Island. Robbie was disappointed that we were under 20 kilometres (just shy of 18 kilometres) and it’s testament to my poor recovery that I didn’t even care that we hadn’t hit 20 kilometres.
On Tuesday, I dressed as Tin Tin and walked into the crag to go rock climbing. My tick protection was a full body coating of 80% Deet (very oily smelly stuff), my Tin Tin garb which is a long sleeved shirt and long pants tucked into socks all treated with Permethrin – including my back pack. We didn’t get any ticks but it was so windy we left early. Doug and I had at least 100 phantom ticks but no real ones.
