Tick Awareness for Walkers

Ticks are small, spider-like creatures found in long grass, woodland and heathland. While most tick bites are harmless, some ticks can carry bacteria that cause Lyme disease.

Before you head out:

  • Wear long sleeves and trousers where possible.
  • Stick to paths and avoid brushing against long grass.
  • Use insect repellent suitable for ticks.

After your walk:

  • Check yourself, children and pets for ticks.
  • Pay particular attention to behind the knees, under the arms, around the waist and hairline.
  • Remove any ticks promptly using a tick removal tool or fine-tipped tweezers.

Be aware of symptoms A spreading circular rash and flu-like symptoms can be signs of Lyme disease. Contact your GP or NHS 111 if symptoms develop following a tick bite.

Enjoy the outdoors safely by taking a few simple precautions.

Asian Hornet - Request to remain vigilant.

While we are not in the summer months and as ramblers we may not be considering Asian Hornets we have been asked to remain vigilant. In particular as nests and queens may be more visible in the winter months as there may be less foliage. 

More details on how to identify and report a sighting of a Asian Hornet is in the document found by clicking here.

NOTE: Should you see an Asian Hornet nest (or Queen) you are not recommended to approach. Simply photograph and report using the associated information.
