[QUOTE="Anna Cameron, post: 1195380, member: 81746"] I use One Way Nordic walking poles and was trained in using them by the Nordic Walking trainer/physio who introduced me to walking as part of a therapeutic rehab program. I continue to walk weekly with a small group which includes our trainer/leader/physio/Camiga. Having done 2 caminos/chemins so far, I was often bemused to observe the various ways some pilgrims manipulated their poles. Clearly, some had invested in the poles but not in the method of using them. In answer to the poll question, I don't really know what angle my elbows are when I walk. I'll ask Carolyn next Saturday and get back to you. Meanwhile, here's a photo of me in action, crossing a stream on the Chemin d'Arles last year (I didn't slip in, thanks to the poles- looks like my elbows are at 90 degree angle here, anyway, it worked)) [ATTACH alt="IMG-20220524-WA0007.jpg"]159616[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
