Actually does explain what I was missing about this as it's something I don't do, I mean weigh everything and go on serious expeditions but I am reading about Griffith Pugh and his physiological influence on the first ascent of Everest and it's a good read while lying in bed.I cycled about 20 miles around the countryside to lough Neagh yesterday in the sun and got a banging migraine today so so much for the healthy outdoors and exercise but I just chucked my stuff in the pack (drinks being the heaviest item by far) and went for my Kowa SV 8x32 to take along and they were great as always. The difference between taking my Endurance 10x25 and the Kowa probably worked out at one less expresso which might explain the migraine?I really was wrecked though today. I'm definitely getting worse at cycling any distance it seems when I should actually be getting better with growing experience and practice. I quit smoking, hardly drink alchohol any more, eat pretty healthy and cycle pretty regularly. Not the result I was hoping for.Just heard about your fellow countryman Prince. R.I.P. Purple rain, purple rain.....</blockquote>
