Must say, those construction workers have really earned their money. Non-stop in the most horrendous of weathers.

There was plenty of opposition at the time.
I think it is going to be a permanent service road up to the wind farm and several tracks up there as well. Looking at the example of Scout Moor, it will be yet another slice of countryside becoming semi industrialised.

I am amazed that local residents and heritage groups haven't tried to block this. Open moorland is no place for dumper trucks and diggers. The peat must be a sensitive habitat, as it is at the moment it spoils the walk over to the Grane reservoirs.
