Re Torches. I asked the Fellsman organisers.
My question : "I've been using the online rules and believed my bright, reliable Lenser P7 Pro torch to be perfect but the book now says it will fail on lens diameter and singe LED. Which rules should I be using, online or book, and will my torch be okay. Quick reply appreciated, I may need to pop to Tesco for something else. Thanks."
Reply : "Dear Roger, Don't worry your torch will be fine. The LED torches have come on so much in the last few years. This rule is one of the rules we will be reviewing after the event in our planned 'grand rules overhall'. A trip to Tesco's is not neccessary ;o)
Best Wishes
On behalf of the Fellsman Committee"
I might add (by me Roger), this doesn't mean your miniscule, microlight 10 lumens LED will pass. Be sensible about it and bring something that's up to the job.
