Torch

Not sure if this is on the right board so feel free to move it.
Now the dark nights and mornings are here I'm looking for a small torch clip on or pocket to use whilst I'm walking my dog and I can see where she is in the field and I can see where I am going.
I thought the runners or cyclists may be able to help??

Do you have a budget in mind ?

up to about £10

Why not get a headtorch?

Personally I prefer something I can hold or clip onto a coat.

I second the headtorch suggestion. A tenner on Amazon gets you a rechargeable LED jobbie, which looks good enough.

I needed a torch for taking the dogs out early morning before work and I got a brilliant led headtorch for £12 on ebay.

Why don't you want a headtorch? - it looks where you look!!!

Get a headtorch - they're so convenient, they light up the direction you're walking in, and leave your hands free.

We got this recently for my lad when he was doing his DofE hike, it's brilliant :

Just had a look on Ebay and found a decent one for a Tenner, will order once I get home from work.

Also it may be worth getting an LED collar for your dog too so that you can see where it is. Also helps other people not run / walk into your dog when they can't see it.
I spend a lot of time in the winter months kicking dogs when I am running because you can't see them!
As an aside I will never understand why dog walkers insist on walking dark coloured dogs whilst wearing dark coloured clothing.

My dog is white, but for a few quid it may be worth getting one as an added extra for seeing where she is when we go into a field.
