Re: More destruction planned for the Monadhliath

Alan, seems like you’re making this personal. I just offered my opinion that I thought the MB was for challengers not a political debate. Otherwise, I would have exhausted you all with my view of Trump these past 4 years!

I am not making this personal. The point I thought I had made fairly clearly seems to have passed you by. Wind farms littering the Highlands of Scotland is a subject worth discussing on here because the Highlands is where we hold the Challenge each year. Another subject that is often discussed is the proliferation of run of the river Hydro projects, that also litter the Challenge area.

From the way you phrased your response, I'm sure I can guess your views on President Trump but quite why they would be pertinent on here when they have very little to do with the Highlands of Scotland I'm not so sure.

Re: More destruction planned for the Monadhliath

I was surprised in a search just now that Scotland has so few National Parks. It would seem that the Monadhliath may be a contender for this to protect its fragile ecosystem and beauty.

Re: More destruction planned for the Monadhliath

Bit late for that as there are already 66 turbines and a dam in the area. I agree with Brian and Alan that people need to be aware of these wind farms. I for one would like to avoid them while on the challenge but the way things are going it’s getting very difficult.
It’s definitely not political for me but our wild areas need protection from these developments and it is the politicians who can make the decision.
