A polite request to ask dog walkers to stop leaving their dog poo, bagged or otherwise, on Dodds Hill. There’s been a noticable increase over the last couple of weeks and this will continue to be monitored.
Dodds Hill isn’t just a footpath, it’s where the village children play – to them it’s an army base, a fairy castle, even a climbing frame – don’t be the person that ruins this!

UPDATE: All clear as of 10.20pm
Jane has contacted the blog to let us know there is currently a tree down blocking the road at Alsop-en-le-Dale, meaning there’s no through route to or from the A515.
They’re working to remove it, but not sure how long this will take.

I would like to thank everyone in Parwich for being so friendly and helpful over the last 12 yrs, whilst I have had the pleasure of being your postman. I will be hanging up my post bag at the end of March but will hopefully keep in touch.
Thank you, Darwin

Thank you to the eagle-eyed Martin C for sending through this picture of a wild orchid spotted on Parwich Hill.
There are a few locations within a walk of the village where these fairly rare wildflowers can be seen in spring and early summer, always worth keeping your eyes peeled for them.

There’s a new Gruffalo trail now up and ready to follow, and it’s aimed at the younger members of our lovely village.
It begins with two sheets on the park near the play equipment, then two on the Green, with the remaining two hiding in the Pump Hill Garden.
There’s a printable check sheet and also the answers below should you need them.
Happy Gruffalo spotting!
