On Sunday just gone, I went for a Wazz behind the dunes near the top end of the car park.
On returning to the car park, i only go and stumble (literally) across a snake.
The Adder was a cheesed off at being disturbed from catching the very few rays of sunshine that day and it promptly wrigged off, deep into the spiky Marram grass.
I had a nose about and spotted another of these beautiful critters (half the size of the first) basking in the sunlight.

So, just a word of warning, if you are walking about with bare feet,
around the dunes, just keep an eagle eye out for these snakes.
Because of their great camuoflage, i didn't see the first one till i actually knocked it with my foot and it moved.

They take a lot of provoking before they'll bite, but accidently treading on one would do the trick and the bite can be painfull (and very rarely fatal).

Im pretty sure Al, knows a guy that spent a couple of weeks in hospital after a sting. Best check your beard incase any are hiding in there!!!!!

Yeah, I've seena few in the dunes here, or more often than not basking on the path in the sunshine. I had to call the helicopter out once whilst working on Saunton Beach to sirlift a guy to hospital who had been bitten by one. He spent a few days in hospital on a drip and in a pretty bad way. He did pull through OK, but it was touch and go for a day or two.
