Looking good for the Weekend. Check those batteries at home rather than @ 7.30pm on Gimmer. You know it makes sense.
Cheers Beds

Say that to the LAMRT boys and girls who have been dragged out of the Golden Rule for the sake of 3 AAA`s, now you would need a sense of adventure to say it to them. LOL

My headtorch casts a pathetic dim glow. I discovered this when I lost an approach shoe and had to walk to the car in one approach shoe and one rock boot. (Was only at wildcat so a short walk fortunately.)

Everyone should get a wind up headtorch as back-up, and keep it at the bottom of their sack for emergency use (no more MRT call outs. )

They are not great, but you CAN read a map, and see a reasonable distance ahead which will let you keep moving, and thus keep warm.

Don't count on it - mine bust the other evening on the summit of snowdon - wire must have broken because it shorted out.
