    Hiking Poles - leaving them behind...

    I bought a pair of hiking poles when I arrived in Ferrol because I knew I couldn't bring mine on the plane (and as I was only travelling with carry on I didn't want to check them in to the hold) Along the way a couple of people said they thought I could check them in as hold luggage for free at...
