I would be if i had the money ha ha
Is the new XP really that much better than the old model? Does it look any different so I know I'm buying the latest one?
So if I am to venture into buying a head torch is this the one to get?
Myo XP Head Torch - 2008 Edition
Will keep my eye on the sales and wants section...:)Quote:

You could have a wait! If you look at their website, they only list Petzl's Duo & E-Lite. It looks as if they have "sold out" to Black Diamond.
SimplyHike look to be quoting good prices for the new "2008 Issue Myo XP" - £42.xx for the basic and £55.xx for MyoBelt XP
Climbershop will have them beginning of next week 15% off and free delivery!!
Thats handy they've got my Accu in for repair/replace :)Quote:

He will be totally incredulous if I turn out one night with something totally cutting edge - which the Lucido was when I first bought it and Trundler was peering into the gloom with his Zoom.
I'll be totally incredulous if you just turn out.... you being an ex-bat :DQuote:

Wash your mouth out Trundler - whilst you were at home typing out the above, myself and 3 Ghandi Men + 4 Ghandi Women were wading our way around the SROC winter street league. My little Lucido Coolight was performing miracles down the back alleys of Morecambe. :rolleyes:Quote:

What do you think to it Swoop, have you ran or compared it to the old MYO XP?
It's miles better Hopey, your old one is historic. Which race are you at next for the transaction? :)
Have only used it once locally and it seemed ok but there is a lot of light pollution around here.Quote:

The only other torch I've tried was the Tikka Plus and this is much better.
Ha ha Should be Winter Hill if I can get some miles in over the next couple of weeks!Quote:

Just bought this one
Swoop you've done well to get one as they've not been dispatched in this country yet :confused:
How long did it take to come from Simply Hike?
Ordered it on Fri 11th and they said it would be dispatched in 5 working days.Quote:

Swoop is yours the blue one or is it the grey one? Think (although could be wrong) it is only the grey one that is the new 2008 model and the blue is the older one?
I'm sure you are right. Mine is grey.:)Quote:

I've done 3 Owl events and ran most Wednesday nights since October with a Tikka Plus. I suspect a large brown paper bag over my head would have been just as effective, especially when the batteries are tired
Sorry for the blatent plug and if its inappropriate to post such a message, please let me know and I wont do it again....
We have both the the myo xp 08 and myobelt xP 08 versions in stock at www.likeys.com and have done so for the last week. I hadnt realised the current rarity of the item until reading this thread or I would have got them on the site before now. If anyone is after one immediately either give me a call anytime or buy the old version on the site and I will make sure the new one is sent instead. On Monday I will get the new ones up on the site with the myo xp at £47.49 INC free posting and the myobelt xp at £56.99 INC free posting. We always dispatch on day of order if before 3.45pm.
The older versions will be reduced on Monday by £5 whilst the very limited stock remains*.
Again apologises if blatent advertising is inappropriate, but I would only consider doing it if I thought I might be able to offer something of value to the forum and its members.
* have just checked the stock and now have no 07 myo xp left and only 2 myobelt xp 07 left.
opps just read the bottom line again properly.
If I was to order one tomorrow when would I have it for?
Can I ring up and order it on sundays?
All orders are always dispatched on day of ordering (if before 3.45pm). In the UK, if you choose free postage it is sent either 2nd class or parcel post and usually arrives in 2 days. If you chose standard post (£2.99) it goes first class and nearly always arrives the next day. If you are absolutely desperate you can pay for guaranteed next day delivery (£6.99).Quote:

We endeavour to always have everything on our site in stock and available for immediate dispatch and so far in the 15 months we have been trading only twice have we been caught out - but in both case this was rectified as quickly as possible with a free tube of nuun as compensation.
You can ring anytime you like - but on weekends and evenings its pot luck whether there will be an immediate answer as there is a vague possibility I might be out training, but you can always leave a message and I will definately call you back.
Thanks

Cheers for that LFW, look forward to getting the headtorch on tuesday
Did my first ever HTITH run today using my new 2008 Myo XP.
Over Whaley Moor from Dog & Partridge at Bridgemont. Used the diffuser most of the time.
Seemed very good. More than adequate but I was running over ground I knew quite well.
You're just tantalising us aren't you Swoop...? ;) I was waiting for you to say Wow Fantastic Brilliant Excellent!
Are you given to this kind of understatement? (yeh, had an adequate run round the Three Peaks once, just under 2:30....) :D
