The body is wrong for a tick. This looks more like a red mite or spider too
me.

Are you sure its not a tick, waiting for your blood, Graham?

No, I am not really sure, but I think it is a spider. I can't remember
ever having got a tick from the Mt Mee area, plenty from other places,
but not Mt Mee. Anyway, if it is a tick, it would be waiting for my wife
not me. She sticks to the tracks and still picks up plenty of ticks,
while I crash through the scrub and yet I rarely get them.
