snake in the grass

hello folks

not a bike story but still relevent.I went a walk with my missus and our youngest along the mentieths route on friday (brilliant riding weather /conditions).Anyway on the return i spotted an adder on the path and managed a few shots with the camera before it moved off and devoured a full grown stag antlers and all.This was good going for me as i am S%^t scared of snakes (Dawn….cows read me and snakes).once in the dead dry braken it was almost invisible so tread /fall off your bike carefully.

ps// I have uploaded too many pics the same how the hell do I get rid of the unwanted ones.
