Trekking poles

Recommended Posts

Hi,


I need to buy a pair of trekking/walking poles for a holiday coming up in the Canaries. Can anyone suggest the best lightweight type for an average height woman and, if so, is there a shop in the vicinity that sells them? Finches in Forest Hill are all out of poles, unfortunately.


Thanks in advance!

I have some Black Diamond poles from one of the outdoors shops in Covent Garden and they've been great. If you don't need anything fancy my partner got some much cheaper ones from Decathlon at Canada Water and she's been fine with them. In case you're not aware, you'll probably need to check them for the flight - the airlines view them as weapons.

Thanks for the suggestions - all informative. A very kind local person has offered me a pair for free, which I will be picking up at the weekend.

    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
