Ulpster Windfarm Shock

We were recently alerted to the prospect of a Windfarm destroying the peaceful walks at Ulpster. No one could have believed how quickly things have progressed. Our roving photographer Matt the Hat has brought us some disturbing photographs which we publish as a warning of what can happen through inactivity or lethargy.



With the recent spate of Auntie disasters, we decided to speak to Auntie Mel, who initially alerted us to the problem, while she was still contactable. Unfortunately when we visited her at Ulpster we found she was almost incoherent with only short spells of lucidity. When asked about the appearance of the windmills she stared blankly for a very long time and then started moaning the word "windmills" over and over again before saying, "Eeee, when Gus gets back from his search for the Faraway Tree he'll be devastated", she then lapsed into her monotone drone of "windmills" over and over again.

We then spoke to a local resident Chaimig and got more sense from him. "It really is a disgrace", he said, "You can see them from hundreds of millimetres". These windmills are an anathema, they totally disrupt the tranquility of the unspoilt views over Ulpster, this area was as close to Nirvana as you could find, I just don't know why they allow it."

People, it's not too late, we at the Churnal urge you to take a proactive stance before they cover the whole area. Speak to your MP, speak to your Councillor, if you're local to Ulpster speak to Chaimig.

If you look closely you can see it is actually the other two that are going in the opposite direction.
