Hi there,
I’m starting my first Camino Frances early May, and I don’t know whether I need hiking poles or not?
I’m 26 years old, relatively fit and don’t have any injuries (yet!)
I used poles for the first time last year doing the Everest Base Camp trek, and they were a great investment, though of course Base Camp was very much a trek based on inclines and declines…
I just don’t know if they’ll be something extra to carry that I don’t need, or something I’ll be very grateful to have on the Camino.
Any intel would be wonderful. Thank you in advance!
