So, without our head torches this is what we were looking at last night, having made sure we were out before the moon came up. Besides James running off and hiding, poised to jump out and scare us only to be spotted before he had the chance and a hide-n-seek in the dark contest that nobody had the energy for we learnt a lot last night. It was around 10 degrees C but while we were moving we only needed a base layer to stay warm enough.
Walking and staying on route by head torch was more challenging than I'd anticipated as the beam is either more or less at your feet to avoid tripping on tree roots or rocks, or pointing ahead lighting the way, but not both. Keith turned up with some crazy new technology LED torch that fit in the palm of the hand and was brighter than anything we had, but sounded a bit expensive. I definitely going to have to get some sort of additional lighting though.
