ooh nice I might be able to see that on a clear day if its far enough to the south, while on Holiday we could now and again glimpse the Hornsea offshore turbines tiny little things on the horizon but no where seems to be as easy as the ones along the North Coast of Wales.

I love the Turbines both out at sea or up close on land, much nicer than the old trent valley coal fired power stations i grew up with and the magnox and AGR's i worked on in the past.

I'm happy enough with them out at sea, I see the ones off Shoreham regularly from my daughter's, I don't like seeing the ones on land when I was hill walking, I like to think I am in a natural landscape.
