FenlandRunner Jul 2021 11:50am, 14 Jul 2021 6,870 posts	Quote Pin FenlandRunner I will in longs for a number reasons, primary hopeful anti-tick and secondary warmth at night when it is cold and I'm moving slow.

NDWDave Jul 2021 12:37pm, 14 Jul 2021 15,162 posts	Quote Pin NDWDave I’ve had a few ticks on the North Downs. I was on a work call when I noticed one on my leg. I thought it was dirt but it didn’t brush off and wiggled a bit. I ended the call immediately and got the tweezers out. Fortunately it hadn’t got fully stuck in and came out cleanly

Rosehip Jul 2021 12:54pm, 14 Jul 2021 21,777 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip I've had two ticks, both at top of sock level and both from walking locally. The dog had a few - again all local, none from various lakes trips. The Muntjack around here must be riddled with them. I have lots of longs - nettle protection
KinkyS Jul 2021 12:59pm, 14 Jul 2021 17,931 posts	Quote Pin KinkyS I picked up a tick somewhere on the first half of the 100 a few years ago. The race doctor wasn't around so a passing vet removed it for me
