Either that or I'm a bit of a perv... No it's definitely a headcam - the combination of that and the backpack is awful.  Not being able to hear properly or feel the wind on your head takes some inportant senses away.

PIcture was taken in 1997 at Pwhelli,  I haven't seen any more from the sequence.  We did manage to avoid a collision (the lens probably makes it look a lot closer than it was).
