As a mountain track may be, blustery and indirect (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

windy

This clue is a triple definition!

'as a mountain track may be' is the first definition.
(as in a track that winds around a mountain)

'blustery' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'and' is a link.

'indirect' is the third definition.
(winding around)

(Other definitions for windy that I've seen before include "Gusty" , "far from calm" , "Timid - tempestuous" , "Frightened - not still" , "Chicago, the _____ City" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
