Now that I have seen them close to I am not sure whether they are as bulky and obvious as I expected. It is difficult to judge without putting a nearby 400m kV lattice line to compare; but I still suspect that what is probably a monocoque assembled off site is the reason for the haul roads stretching right across the county.

They look like demented coat hangers

Just as fugly as the old ones.

Isn't the visibility of the pylons a rather minor issue for a project like Hinkley point?

I don't think they as bulky or intrusive as the "standard" Pylons, but, "invisible", not quite, more work required

If only the plans for those construction roads had included subsequent access as cycle routes stretching across the country?

Now you are being silly, that would require joined up thinking, we can't have that, things might actually improve, heaven forbid!

Classic! Wonder if they would have let you scan the frame for signs of fatigue?

In theory it's a great idea, however i doubt very much that you'd have got a permanent 'Way Leave' from the landowners to grant public access.
