Not too far away from here, two pylons bridge the valley with cable carrying power from the Aberthaw power station to the National grid. In 2006, it was decided to renovate the towers and cables. I took a few pics of the guys actually up there doing the high flying work.
Men up pylons dangling from insulators looks pretty scary to my untrained eyes. Here, one man is transferring to basket.

All very high up...

Now the third man is taking the new cables along the existing ones, bit by bit

At the other side of the valley, a colleague awaits his arrival

Patiently, because it took hours.
