Hello ok, hope you're all well?
I haven't been here in a good while, still been walking and climbing when possible.
I just wanted to give a friendly warning as it's now tick season and I had one attach itself to me on the route up dove crag via Brothers water just after the waterfall.
Please don't forget to add a tick tool to your first aid kit and keep checking every hour or so.
If you don't know what one looks like it's worth having a look online and worth knowing they can be as small as a speck of dirt to start off with.
The one I had was a nymph and I noticed it more or less straight away. I had thought it was a splash of mud but a zoom in on my phone showed exactly what it was. Familiarise yourself with removal technique and don't take any chances.
Please take care and maybe remind other walkers to be alert.
Speak soon and hope you're all getting out and about
