I went to the Center for Alternative Technology in Machynlleth when I 
was in the UK earlier this year - really interesting place to visit. 
Both beautiful and informative. I took some quite detailed pictures if 
anyone is interested. For what it's worth, I travelled by train and 
folding bike :-) .
