Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Fragile Do Not Bend
[I couldn’t run after dark without a light, unless the area was really well lit, which is unusual. My depth perception in poor light isn’t very good]

[Last night some teenagers moaned at a small group of us with lights claiming their lights were dazzling them, these were teenagers wearing black and riding bikes without lights. I had to bite my tongue]

[some of you may remember the tumble I took when running on uneven pavements last October, I will definitely wear a chest or head torch when running in the dark, yes we have street lighting but not sufficient]

The time of year of dark mornings where cyclist have 1,000,000 watt lights to blind drivers and runners go the other way wearing total black with no hi-viz or lights running on dark country roads.

[LOL, Dave.O. I know it's not really funny, but I quite enjoyed being shouted at by motorists because my bike lights were "too bright" - given the darn great Xenon floodlights on the front of their vehicle!]

We must be lucky here as most areas pretty well lit. I accept the problem is mine ... I just get easily dazzled, which I think is partly down to my age and failing eyesight ;-)
