For for he [Applause] [Applause] when planning application for wind turbines were in progress people were objecting because of the noise they were going to make but I’m right beside a wind turbine and there’s no noise I hear birds singing This is significant because people going about the noise wind turbines me
Make in order to object about them about their placement in the countryside throughout Scotland but I’m right next to this wind turbine it’s going round near between Peter CA and westergard and right beside it no noise there’s only one wind turbine here who actually owns it it’s in abine
City the Winden turbine’s massive it’s a great feat of engineering of Great British engineering I’ve never been this close to a wind turbine before just look at it no noise coming off it I can hear the birds faintly in the distance but there’s no birds around at this
Spot the wind turbine revolves slowly in a propeller motion it’s going clockwise there’s the birds this is Mother Nature and this is harnessing Mother Nature harnessing the wind to produce energy sustainable electricity electricity it’s actually quite a big word to see electricity you better seeing energy but there’s various forms of energy like
Nuclear it’s also renewable energy this is gy wood on Saturday the day before the clocks go forward in springtime 2020 2 and this road is quiet it’s got a good surface it’s a road that connects G logi to between like if you can’t Straight Ahead you’ll eventually come to the Kiron of
Sken it’s a road on the side of gari n abine that connects to the Kiron of skin knowing where you are local knowledge does have value but to learn local knowledge Google Maps helps as does big Maps from large screen monitors at home I mean let’s face it mobile
Technology does have a use but it’s a small screen it can be more productive with a larger screens I’m better off that way does go to West Hill actually but it’s through bushes you’re better on the road I mean the Romans made great roads in Britain the Romans made great
Roads cycling in Scotland is not without its challenges you face Hill Hills I’m going uphill at the moment Hills slow you down so you need an electric bake [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] oh this is by the path that goes to skin Road skin road is effectively the
A944 the aine aford road the aine to Kings Wales Road the aine to West Hill Road skin Road the a944 but at what point it BEC a skin Road in the a944 is a matter of debate you can look at Google Maps but it’s not really clear where the
Boundary is where it starts and stops this reinforces the view you need signs signs to welcome people it can be spooky through the trees in the dark also in the daylight in the shade when the sun’s gone in the sun provides a great amount of light sunlight without the Sun you need
Lights lights on cars buses planes and trains and bikes but lights on bikes aren’t very bright they’re not very bright this is the path to abin past abin Kum it leads to skin Road going along the path going downhill not pedling on 22nd of March
2022 you don’t need to Pedal when you go downhill you get to feel the wind but there’s not much wind today not a lot but you do feel an a of coolness about your face forness the quality of life is often Better Living in the countryside but there’s no immunities so
You need cars transport own [Applause] transport now I seem to have gone past the crematorium I’m heading for ro road this sign said skin rad now I’m heading back into abine I just came out of it this is a circular path I want to head towards Kings Wales I can’t get
Across the W stream I can go across the grass across the road where there’s no Crossing you need to wait wait for No Traffic the man across the road isn’t waiting he’s jogging [Applause] where does this path come out where’ it come out did it go to the
Crematorium no well you can’t go Go toor I mean this path is like a maze yeah problem is about another there’s a there’s a a tree across the road just up there just at the side of the road of the crematorium a bike over and go the
Side of it and then once you go a little bit further on you’ll have to go into the faway because loads of trees down across the path um or you go up to the CR go through the G come side but I don’t know what trees are down this is a
Network of paths and there’s no signs no the trees are all down because of the stor so it’s this is the 22nd of March 2022 I should say the date for verification of events you need Witnesses and those two people have confirmed there’s no signs
Okay not only is there no signs but the trees are all down stubs remaining the scale of the challenge the environmental cleanup operation is immense this is actually the path to the crematorium I remember coming down it before but there’s no signs now hold on straight ahead I don’t know where
That goes but actually I don’t want to go that way let’s just be clear this is the path to the crematorium and there is a sign SK road but you see this if you’re coming the other way from hazelhead Park there’s no sign you’ve got to look
Back you got to look look everywhere all around to stay safe look back look up watch out for pitch of abin W’s Rugby Club with heel Head Park and I don’t know what this building is this path further back back there was a Fallen Tree I ducked underneath this
Is context context to consider what comes next what’s further along here how many more Fallen trees will I encounter the benefit of cycling the benefit of cycling and bakes is you can move faster let the scenery change capture the changes as you witness them this is the back of hazelhead
Academy there’s the academy the playing field on the 22nd of March 2022 stop take a breath look all around here a Head Golf Course trees have been chopped down stubs remain who’s going to take out the stubs how do you regrow trees where existing trees have been chopped down you need
Diggers but are in City Council don’t seem interested in using diggers I mean it’s a massive undertaking I mean the challenge is immense enormous and the burden is on children today and future Generations let’s just be clear am I recording I don’t know but if I’m not what I’ve said will get
Lost novel Tech technology enables recording but you don’t know always if you’re recording I might not be recording now so I should take a few pictures of the devastation at the back of hazelhead Academy [Applause] I that’s [Applause] [Applause] be For for is for I for [Applause] [Applause] he sh a [Applause] oh [Applause] sh oh [Laughter] for [Applause] the [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] for sh [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] come what sh for [Applause] [Applause] I [Applause] [Applause] w oh
