Wellington Rideouts - Where next?

yea mate that sucker in the middle, 3 blades, shes top dog on the hill.... got to be knocking 100 foot high.

That'd be over 100 metres high son, not 100 foot high, if the blades alone are 45 metres, that's 90 metres diameter plus the tips weren't coming closer than 20 or 30 metres to the ground. So yes they are big f..kers.

stop smoking that wacky backy and it wont seem as bad

Hey man.............what an awesome idea...........ride through there stoned at night..............(maybe in a previous life)

70 metre high tower with 35 metre blades apparently.

Yeah those are the Saddle Road ones, not the North Range Road jobbies.

These are them at the North end and middle http://windenergy.org.nz/nz-wind-far...-farms/tararua - those middle ones are 3 megawatt each - crikey.

These are the noisy f..kers at the South end http://windenergy.org.nz/nz-wind-far...ms/te-rere-hau
