We walked up to Neds Peak the other day and down in the lower sections the mozzies were insane. It was breath through your teeth time or swallow the buggers.
That's why outback Aussies talk through their teeth Hallu, it's to stop the flies getting in.

Walking a well beaten path, particularly if there are limited views and especially if I'd done once or twice before is where I notice the every little bit of strain, stress or discomfort. But put the excitement of an unexplored place and throw in a bit of "this creek must leed into that creek?... Or else" and I can walk all day.
