🕷️ A quick tick check after every walk can make a big difference.
As we enjoy the wonderful footpaths, moorland and countryside around East Cheshire and the Peak District, it’s important to remember that ticks can be active in long grass, bracken and heather.
Before heading out:
✅ Wear appropriate clothing
✅ Stay on clear paths where possible
✅ Carry a tick removal tool
After every walk:
🔍 Check yourself carefully for ticks
🔍 Check children and pets too
🔍 Remove any ticks promptly and correctly
A few simple precautions can help keep everyone safe and enjoying the outdoors.

Following the success of last year’s scrambling programme, we’re delighted to announce that scrambles will be returning to the Ramblers East Cheshire walks programme this summer.
The Peak District is home to some of the finest scrambling terrain in the country, and our upcoming programme will take in some of its most exciting and dramatic landscapes.

Stroller walks take place every fortnight. The walks will usually start at 10.30 and you will find details about the walks on the ECR website on the home page.
Stroller walks are intended for members who prefer a short, easy, flat walk with minimum stiles and ascents. The walks are taken at a very easy, gentle pace. Walkers may also be recovering from an injury or health issues and may want to take gentle walks to build up their stamina.
Stroller walks may be a good introduction for new walkers, who may wish to walk in a group for the first time? ECR are a friendly group and you’ll receive a very warm welcome.
