Great effort in the dark. Clocks change this weekend that’ll make it even worse for you 😒 definitely need that new head torch. Happy shopping

Yes it’s getting dark very quickly now. A good distance to do after a day’s work - well done.

Wow that's some distance sTrongFuse ...def get a head torch so that you can see and also get some lights so that you can be seen too...Hi viz...clip on lights, just make sure you're safe..As AlMorr says, the clocks change on Sunday so more daylight for the early birds but darker evenings for the after workers like you
