The deerstalker is an aptly named and extremely functional hat. Stalking requires crawling in the sopping heather in a pouring rain or at minimum a steady drizzle. Crawling uphill and for miles. The wet pours down the back of the neck if you dare wear a flat cap. Learned the hard way in the Glen Isla. Holmes, as usual, has it right.
I've always been a great fan of Xander Armstrong. There is a clip of him in the series as a rude shop keeper (available on youtube) which always makes me laugh.
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."
