7/7/2010 Mount Keen . Jane Cycled from home to the Shiel of Glentanar against a very strong wind , the thought of the return was very encouraging. Walked and ran to the top against and ever increasingly stronger wind. Looked at Braid Cairn and potential routes, stood up and decided to return the same way. The wind was just too strong to do another hill. Had a pleasant descent, till near the new footbridge when suddenly I realised that my next footstep was going to land me on an adder (2nd photo), which was sun-bathing on the path. It stayed still for a photo and then fortunately moved into the undergrowth ,as it was right across the path . Had a very pleasant cycle home in less than an hour.
