Nippersmith, abject apologies, absolutely no offence intended; but as you came across as being "a bit sniffy" about Primark ( appointed suppliers of my harvest festival Y fronts ), it seemed that each of your comments deemed a retort!Originally Posted by nippersmith
Stop it! This has absolutely nothing to do with head torches
ANYWAY TO REAL HEADTORCH MATTERS:- This evening, 11 Bowland Bats met in Sedbergh, on the road between The Peoples' Hall and Lockabank Farm for our annual trot over Calders to The Calf. 7 of us did the full out & back route. Initially a bit of light rain. Once on the col between Winder and Arant Haw it was blowing a hooley and visibility was clagged in to around 3 metres. Being the 'old man' of the group and asthmatic, I took a 17 minute headstart and was well chuffed that the 'speedy young pups' did not reel me in until on the way back over the summit of Calders; and then only because I had to go into my bumbag for my gloves .... hands were warm enough on the way up but starting to chill on the descent; I was hand holding the Vision 2 below waist level due to the thick clag! 9 of us had a convivial apres run in The Dalesman.
WERE YOU (anyone on this forum) the headtorcher who was descending from the direction of Arant Haw towards me as I traversed up the E flank of Winder, about 7.15 p.m? You did not actually descend to meet me but continued on the ridge, up to the summit of Winder!
