Watch out for ticks
WALKERS are being warned to watch out for ticks.
A bite from an infected tick could lead to Lyme Disease, a rare but treatable infection.
Keep to paths and tracks, tuck trousers into socks and check your clothing and exposed skin for ticks at regular intervals and again at the end of the day
