Re: [Aushiker] Re: Sea to Summit want ideas

Hi Rosemary,

My walking mate suspended an LED torch from the roof of the hut with a
short length of string. Adjust the height above the table so the
torch beam illuminates efficiently. Gave us plenty of light to cook
with and to share with other walkers afterwards. For reading I use an
LED head torch. I bought an Eveready Energiser head torch. The light
follows your eyes. It still works after many years although the
switch can be temperamental.
