No one expects the Spanish Inquisition Caving Expedition!

A couple of pictures for comparison. I also had to replace the headband on the Aria as a plastic locking bit fell out which meant it would keep getting loose.

I've had a Fenix HL60R since 2018, currently on Amazon for ?60. I don't use its brightest settings and it manages to last a couple of scout caving trip weekends, 6 - 8 hours over the weekend. Due to battery and metal casing its a bit heavier (155g) that a standard headtorch but you soon forget...

I've always used an Excel spreadsheet, but do like the sound of a more interesting way to track and look back at where you've been

I'm also looking to restart taking groups Did anyone manage to re-start? Did you put any additional precautions or safety measures in place?
