[QUOTE="PeregrinaIR, post: 127950, member: 10766"] Well said! :lol: Someone sniffed on an earlier post about the 'noise' poles make - I use walking poles for a variety of reasons, mostly to do with a bockety knee and a none too youthful set of hips. Being a solo traveller it also affords me a sense of security should any of the packs of wild dogs I first read about years ago, come after me. (Four times on the camino and no such encounter....yet!). They help me balance out the weight of my rucksack, and I find that a great help. However, I am also possessed of a modicum of common sense or basic manners, call it what you will, and when leaving a village / built up area early in the morning, do not use my poles until I am a bit out of earshot of those still blissfully sleeping. For added stealth, you can actually buy little rubber shoes for the pole tips, which takes the metallic click (so abhorrent to some people) down a couple of notches. Wishing all Camino walkers (with or without poles) perfect balance, soft tumbles if you fall, speedy recoveries for everything from bruised egos to bulbous blisters, plenty of laughter on your way, and a cold drink at the end of each day. Buen Camino, [/QUOTE]
