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!
Oh WD. there is no need to apologise, please, I started it with my snobby observation on the disposability of Primark underwear; I will own up to being a fan of 'middle of the road' M & S, and then we can move on

I ordered a head torch recommended on this thread, but had to send it back as it was faulty, so I am scouting around for another.
