Oooh, I've had one of those, really quiet... Don't do as I did and flatten
the batteries - I went South for a day from the yard (had to pick up someone
the next day back at the yard), missed in winding point at Tod's (because it
was Xmas Eve and the place was full!), got to the next winding hole (a
*long* way on and quite shallow and slow), turned round, got back evenuatlly
getting slower and slower, until 1 mile from yard, everything went out - it
was now 6pm, very dark, SYMBO had been using a torch to show the way for the
last two hours (no separate domestic battery), waited 1hr, batteries
recovered, and crawled into yard on slow.
