Hi,

Where abouts in West Wales ? I used to live in Aberystwyth and used to clim up to the nearby windfarm. It was always inspiring to sit directly under the blades and watch them sucking energy out of the wind.

[windyknight]

about 30 miles south - milford haven!

[ghurd]

Just 30 miles?  Amazing.

I am 1/2 a world away.

[ghurd]

And 1 sheep could eat my mill in a single sitting.

Tell me thats not the base of the tower for YOUR wind generator for YOUR organic farm.  Wow that's a big one.  (and when they're done with that toweer can you send them cross the pond to put up one for me)  Rich

Nice pic!

You know what make/model is going in there?

There's some V90s scheduled to be built next spring a few miles south of here and I hope to get some pics to share of the construction.

Outriggers on the cement pump truck to stabilise it and keep it from tipping it over. Mobile cranes use them too and get all wheels of the ground so they're on a sold base.

[newguy]

oh i see now that i look at the pic closer the pump is almost covering the stablizer or jack or whatever so i did not see thanks for pointing that out
