View to the Sea
We're a wee way up in the hills here. Didn't stop 800 people turning up to the open day - this may have been related to the promise of a free lunch. Nice to see us fulfilling our national stereotype, eh?

Those things are *big*
125m to the blade tip. Getting them up very small windy roads to the site would have been fun - the lorries created enough problems on the A1 (I was stuck behind them a few times).
