    Flashlight recommendations

    Given your budget I would look at the Fenix TK41. Technically it is better than the LED Lenser. I have the T7 which I am more than happy with, alas cost was an issue. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?315031-Review-of-Fenix-TK41-with-measurements-and-outdoor-beamshots

    Flashlight, Surefire P2X Fury: any thought?

    I have got an LED Lender P7 and headtorch. Great pieces of kit, considerably cheaper than Fenix but not quite in the same league technically. Depends on what you are doing, for a general step up from standard lights then go with The lenser, but if technically superiority is your thing then...

    Wellies for walking. Help please. UK

    If you can justify it the get both walking boots and wellies. Walking boots give immeasurably better performance and can be enhanced by gaiters. I bought a pair of neoprene lined wellies that were aimed to the fishing market, only cost £25, bloody superb for what the do. However if walking then...

    Just one in five UK children 'connected to nature', groundbreaking study finds (RSPB

    James, that is a great response! Getting kids interested is a real challenge even for those of us who are interested and have kids. The RSPB and National Trust should be applauded for their efforts. My youth was spent in the companion of some fabulous birders and I was genuinely involved with...

    2013 UK orchids

    Good evening all, The Lady's Slipper are still weeks behind at Kilnsey Park, Yorkshire Dales, which is a bit unfortunate given that it was their Wild about Orchids festival this week. It has been widely advertised. There was only one plant in bud which may break over the next couple of days...

    Good flashlight for spotting

    I would have preferred a Fenix but it came down to money. Fenix build quality is excellent and they do offer some technical advantages over LED Lenser, but for the price of TK-41 I purchased both a T7 and H7 headlamp with money to spare. If you have the cash then Fenix is the way forward...

    Good flashlight for spotting

    T7 is also very compact when compared to the P14 and from what I have found on the web not much difference in performance. Adam

    Good flashlight for spotting

    I own a headlight (H7) and the T7 flashlight. I would have no hesitation in recommending both. Excellent in terms of both performance and battery life. At the price and size I have been unable to find anything that comes close. I have used the T7 for spotting, pretty effective, but expect you...
