I'd like to say a big thanks to Mookster for motivating me into posting my visit at this stunning location. Although I'm very late... It'd been later/never if it weren't for his brilliant photos.
Just like Mookster, the rare occasion of wife (and children) invasion is something that that you really have got to take for granted. Not only that, during the visit, my wife was due the third edition to our family. I think she had less then a few days. She is a good wife for letting out and play so far from home during the last blizzard snowfall that set upon us
I'm not going to delve into the history these towers as there isn't massive deal except for what they used to serve purpose for. Besides, I've seen these crop up here a few times so I'm sure that we are all familiar with them.
Unlike many here, I can be very idol pretty much on majority of visits and just keep the camera in the bag and enjoy what I see instead. I do kick myself after regurlay afterwards though as sites that i have seen are out of this world and no longer with us!! Regardless of the circumstances/weather condition at the time of this visit.... The camera was worth working hard for. The scale of the towers are immense.
The camera in question.... Olympus OM10, and a mixed variation of film (Ilford XP2 & Fuji superia)
I possess to be a right film nerd. Photog how it used to be I say.

The wind at this point was colossal!!!!!
And also to mention on departure, the farmer on the field opposite was rounding his sheep up.
We hid behind a snow drift and got BATTERED by the blizzard.
So much so, that the film camera had frozen, batteries had died, and my hands could not move. I just about got the iPhone out and took this.

Where continued up north with our adventures.... Admiring what the blizzard had left behind.
Common sense was on the better side realising that I had a heavily pregnant wife at home. We headed back later that day without performing anything out of our limits.
