Walking poles at Ennerdale!

[studmarks]

And I don't mean those from eastern Europe. I mean those that you use to help you uphill. I was very surprised, as were many others, to see someone, using 2 'walking sticks' in the Ennerdale fell race. Any thoughts on this? The 'racer' finished very well up.

I suggest they put sharp spikes on the bottom and then they could pick up all the Go Gel packs some one left just before Blackbeck tarn, and then when they get back to the finish give the offender a good beating with them.
