Hmph, I seem to recall a certain Mr Breeze accusing Emily Whitehead and I of 'cheating' as we passed him on the descent at Ingleborough with much brighter lights... Looks like he's seen the light since then :wink:
PS - hard to make a recommendation since there's so much choice. I have 5 headtorches, the most recent being a "Nightsearcher" HT191 which is very good value. I don't think it's neccessary to go to the expense of a Hope.
