see http://www.nowhinashwindfarm.co.uk


a television interview for David Bellamy ..


.. as he makes a passionate denunciation of windfarms


a large party sets out on one of four walks


climbing up above Greenholme ..


.. and into the Breasthigh valley


each red flag marks the proposed location of one of the 27 wind turbines each 390 ft high


looking east to stormy weather over the Pennines


looking south to Whinfell Common and the Marilyn, Grayrigg Forest


a distant glimpse of the Lake District fells with Borrowdale in front


heading southeast along the Whinash ridge with the Howgills in the distance


Borrowdale from Winterscleugh


leaving the main ridge northeastwards


another proposed turbine site with the Howgills beyond
