Upped my headtorch game ready to take on Avernus at Swanage as soon as there's a vaguely dry weekend. It's a cave/chimney trad route starting at the back of a cave and exiting via a blowhole at the top of the cliff which the guide lists a headtorch as 'almost essential'. Did most of the routes nearby last time but Avernus was monopolised by a big group all day.
Torch is an old Petzl Zoom pimped up with a Cree led and the 4.5v battery replaced with 3x AA. Bulky but bright as a motorbike headlamp on full whack.
