    Tilting @ Windmills

    Went for a little run this afternoon, wot with the weather being so nice an all. Managed to slide my way up to one of the local wind turbine sites via a mix of logging trails & some ace packed dirt roads put in to help get the turbines up onto the hill.

    Managed to get the tail out a few times and even cranked the little TA up past 50mph on the better tracks. Twas fast enough for me. Excellent afternoon entertainment.


    These things are HUGE


    Elgin & Lossiemouth as viewed over the local water supply.

    Pictures came first - I've been up onto the hill with previous bikes but before they planted the white things. Since they've been up, some nice gates have popped up on the access tracks. But, you know what they say, "where theres a will, theres a way".

    Glad you all like the pics - now, where to next????
