Dist:0.5km<br/>Boghall Farm is in the valley, beyond the trees. The small wind turbines showed how fickle wind generation can be. One was whirling madly, while the other hardly moved, and was unstable in the direction it faced, due to the local topography affecting the strength and direction of the wind.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Slow going on the snowy slopes of Caerketton Hill. The fence is quite new with little provision of stiles unfortunately.
