PSA
I've managed to (knowingly) pick up one tick in thirty years, then seven this weekend.
Bowderstone pinnacle followed by swim near Manesty yesterday. The scramble route up the right of Gillercombe today. Overnight camp a bit below Gillercombe. Just found them all as we got home this evening. Two on the girlfriend too - who hadn't been wearing shorts like myself.
Gave myself a cursory check after wading through bracken off Bowder, they either all evaded notice or I picked them up overnight/today.
Just a friendly reminder to take precautions and check for the sneaky blighters!
