Wind Turbines

Went for a walk up Twmbarlwm today great views but very windy - this is looking towards Brecon Beacons.

Twmbarlwm also known as Twm Barlwm, Twyn Barlwm, or locally known as "The twmp" (translation: hump)or the Pimple because of the mound that lies at its summit, is a mountain situated 2 km (1.2 mi) to the northeast of Risca in South Wales. It is 419 m (1,375 ft) high and is a well known landmark throughout the region. It commands extensive views across what is now the M4 corridor, over Newport and Cwmbran and out over the Bristol Channel

At the top of the mountain, near its summit, are the remains of what is presumed to be an Iron Age hill fort, believed to have been built by the Silures, the Celtic tribe that inhabited the area before and during Roman times. These remains have led the local people of Risca and Cwmcarn to call it "The tump". There was also thereafter possibly a Roman signal point and a substantial Norman motte and bailey castle which is incorporated into the eastern end of the fort, probably of early Norman construction.

I know that people call it the tump - but to us Bristolians any hill or mountain is called the tump for instance Brandon Hill in Bristol we call Mutton Tump (do'nt ask me why though)
