Head torch

Post by Gripper1974 »

Can anyone recommend a decent head torch to me. My old faithful ever ready one is now an ex ever ready one, in fact it's very unready :( Any recommendations?

Yup.. I have one.

Brilliant. Still on the original batteries I put in back in December 2011 and yes, I've used it quite a bit. Unbelievable.
