Hiking at night is different. You should start small and gain experience at first. You should also practice no-headlamp night hiking. I really think in some conditions you see more because a headlamp ruins your night vision. I personally would never hike at night if it were overcast. Moonlight makes big difference. I am not nocturnal- just staying awake would be a problem for me! I also notice that as my eyes age the adjust to dark a lot slower than when I was younger. I doubt night hiking is in my future.
