Geocache Description:

As my Beacon series is proving to be so popular, I have decided to extend it but please note that this cache is located at Coatham end of the prom.

The series is set to mark the recent regeneration of Redcar promenade featuring an ultra modern, somewhat controversial, vertical pier which has been named the Beacon.


Here you have a fine view of the wind turbines which are proving to be quite a tourist attraction albeit somewhat controversial! Wind turbines operate on a simple principle. The energy in the wind turns two or three propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity. Wind turbines are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy. At 100 feet (30 meters) or more above ground, they can take advantage of faster and less turbulent wind. Wind turbines can be used to produce electricity for a single home or building, or they can be connected to an electricity grid for more widespread electricity distribution.

The container is a nano. Since the original photo shoot has disappeared, I have had to change the title of this cache and move the location slightly!
