Experience the protest that brought anti windfarm campaigners from mid Wales to the Senedd steps -- through the lens of social media.
The mid Wales campaign to prevent wind farms and pylons filled Cardiff Bay today with placards and protest. ITV Wales was there reporting, with Adrian Masters (@adrianmasters84) and Lynn Courtney (@LynncCourtney) tweeting from the ground. Here is a collection of their reports -- and yours -- via social media:

Chief reporter Richard Jones made the trek from Welshpool to Cardiff Bay with a few other core campaigners. Here is a report posted almost immediately after Glyn Davies MP spoke to the crowd:
