c2c... and some

"The adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain. They pose very little risk to walkers - indeed, you should consider yourself extremely lucky to see one, providing you're a safe distance away" - that's what the guide book says.

Is 3 cm a safe distance?

Turns out I'm extremely lucky.

So is the adder I nearly stepped on.

Mind you - I was kind of jumpy for the rest of the ankle deep water and knee-high grass we walked through after that sighting.

We decided to create our own shortcut due to the weather - which meant making our own path as well.もっと詳しく
