DISCOVER THE MOUNTAINS BY TORCHLIGHT

4 Most of us feel a little sadness as the days draw short, but not only does winter bring the excitement and beauty of snowy mountains, it also means you can take advantage of the clear night skies and chuck in a huge bucketful of excitement to what would ordinarily be a bit of a boring hill. Maybe it’s one you’ve climbed umpteen times before, or maybe it’s a round grassy bump of a hill. Either way, don a decent headtorch (p72) and gain a whole new adventurous perspective.
