It was I. The head torch in question was a Zebralight H50.

Three power levels - 66 lumens - 13 lumens - 2.6 lumens

6.6cm (Length) x 1.8cm (Diameter)

Up to 3.5 days runtime from a single battery

You can get it from here

There's also a slightly smaller H30 model.

I think they're the bee's knees.

Hey Chris mate, i got mine through the post this morning, but i dont think it was the post man that delivered it, i really think it was Megan, with her wee snow shoes on, and i thought she would have dropped yours off first, you being the love of her life and all that LOL.....

Good point about the knot Pete, now that i think about it, i cant quite remember it either. Do you think we should book into the old folks home just now or let the memory fully go mate...

Good man - have you tracked down 'fish pudding' in the UK yet:aargh4: yes still on Hols - trying to get ready for child 2 - painting etc..

 

[peds8045]

I would rather stick pins in my own eyes than contemplate searching in the UK for fish pudding:aargh4: I still cant believe that there were people on the course who actually asked for seconds.....what was all that about?

Thanks for the very useful link to 'the knot', i will practice it some more.

It looks much nicer in the photo...

The fish pudding is the anaemic white blob in the middle. I actually didn't mind it, but others seem to disagree!

 

[Peterlee_Paddler]

I liked it and, yes, I did go back for seconds.
Saying that, I found it tasted a bit like a seagull I once ate, so I can understand why folks were less than enthusiastic about it.
Having seen/heard about some of the things that I have eaten in the outdoors, Mrs Paddler reckons I have a warped sense of taste. I may have to concur ...

 

[nickg]

Im with you Tony - didnt mind the stuff at all
