The Great Pole Debate

Several of us have had the discussion - many of us are undecided .... are the suggested poles going to be useful or not. They are another expense and they do get in the way, especially over stiles and therefore presumably when clambering up/down steps!! Well I have now come to a conclusion having consulted with someone who trekked the Wall (same route) in March. Yes - sounds as if they are essential because she found that one pole was "very useful", she said mainly for stability when there was nothing else to hang onto!!! Just thought I'd share that with you.
