The Countryside Code

On our walks at Aussie Dog Care with home boarding and dog walking clients we sometimes like to go off the beaten track in and around our local area of Romiley, Stockport. When you are in the countryside you have to abide by a certain code this being – The Countryside Code.  It is set for all members of the public to respect and enjoy the countryside.

Code Logo from http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/
Code Logo from http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/

This is the Countryside Code:

  • Be safe, plan ahead and follow any signs
    1. Take maps/guidebooks
    2. Be prepared for changes in weather
    3. Check the weather so you know what to expect
    4. Let someone know where you are going, how long you plan to be
    5. Learn signs and symbols used in the countryside
  • Leave gates and property as you find them
    1. Farmers may leave gates open to allow their animals to move – so leave an open gate open, and a closed gate closed
    2. Contact the local authority if you see a sign which may be misleading or illegal (e.g. Private, no entry – on a public footpath)
    3. Follow paths where crops are growing
    4. Use gates or stiles if possible, rather than climbing walls or fences, to avoid damage
    5. Don’t disturb ruins or historic sites
    6. Don’t interfere with machinery or livestock
  • Protect plants and animals and take your litter home
    1. Litter and leftover food spoils the beauty of the countryside
    2. Don’t damage, destroy or remove features such as rocks, plants and trees
    3. Give wild animals and farm animals plenty of space as they can behave unpredictably
    4. Be careful not to drop matches or smouldering cigarettes.
  • Keep dogs under close control
    1. By law, you must control your dog so that it does not disturb or scare farm animals or wildlife
    2. Farmers are, by law, entitled to destroy a dog that injures or worries their animals
    3. Always clean up after your dog and get rid of the mess responsibly
  • Consider other people
    1. Respect the needs of local people
    2. When riding a bike or driving a vehicle, slow down for horses, walkers and livestock and give them plenty of room
    3. By law, cyclists must give way to walkers and horse-riders on bridleways
    4. Support the rural economy – for example, buy your supplies from local shops

Three Peaks Challenge

I , Juliet , at Aussie Dog Care have taken part in the Three Peaks Challenge! It is a wonderful achievement when  finishing and I would recommend anyone to do it who enjoys walking – a lot!

If you don’t want to do all three within the challenge time scales then I would recommend to do them individually!

Find below some information quoted from : http://www.thethreepeakschallenge.co.uk/national-three-peaks-challenge/

“The Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the three highest peaks in England, Wales and Scotland, often within 24 hours.

How to take part in the Three Peaks Challenge

You can take part in the Challenge in three ways — as a self-organised event, aprofessionally organised event, or as part of a charity-organised event. Self-organised events are often the cheapest way to take part, while many groups will benefit from the assistance provided by professional mountain guides.

Self-organised groups can optionally register their challenge, for guidance on organising a safe and responsible challenge.

The three peaks are:

It is a popular misconception that the three mountains in question are the three highest in Britain. Over one hundred peaks in Scotland are higher than Scafell Pike, and 56 higher than Snowdon.”

Dog Walker! Covering Romiley,Marple and more areas!

Aussie Dog Care is based in Romiley , backing onto the golf course! Feel so lucky to live where we do as so many people out of the area comment how amazing it is to have so many walks available on my doorstep !

We are walking distance to Werneth Low , Chadkirk , Etherow Park and Brabyns all of which we regularly go and enjoy with clients!

We would like to thank Romiley Traders for wonderful support and all locals for their continued support! I am a true believer of supporting local shops in the community ! #liveshoplocal #loveromiley

Romiley has a lot of Heritage :

“Country and Heritage

Romiley District Centre lies in the North East of the Borough on the edge of the Peak District, at a distance of approximately 4 miles from Stockport town centre. Romiley has a long history, being mentioned in the Domesday Book as Rumelie. This name is derived from the Anglo Saxon word meaning spacious woodland clearing.”
