If it weren't for the loan of your walking pole on our Schiehallion jaunt, I don't think my knees would have lasted so well...

I bought a couple from Oswald Bailey just before christmas cos they were on special offer (2 for £20) and have never looked back!

I only usually use one, though. Partly cos it's easier and partly cos it DOES look a bit "professional hiker"... ;o)
