Surely the area above Blacka to the west of Thistle Hill is one of the strangest places around. Not only do we have the desecration of Moss Road, brutally eroded by 4x4s and motor bikes, the lunar landscape around the tunnel ventilators and our odd accidental sculpture of the Truculent Sheep, but now the latest addition to the list is these large bales of heather newly cut presumably as an alternative to burning.
I suppose a decision was taken that it was environmentally more sound to do this. Certainly the hazard of smoke pollution on the roads is avoided but I wonder what they're going to do with the bales. Rather than simply leave them, should they create an artistic feature? Or are they intending to move them elsewhere to fulfil some role.
I hope they are not intending to use noisy shredders to grind the stuff into mulch.
