How have you been getting on?
I've a love/hate relationship with poles, great when the weather is good but when I'ts raining a lot my hands freeze and I end up carrying them in my sack
If the weather is ok I might use mine as they make a difference on the climbs.I've still not tried 'running' with poles yet. Might give them a spin on tonight's hill rep session before a proper trial at the L,R and W event on Sunday
