Not a lot of use for someone starting in SJPDP.....
fcsklabrie said:This may be a very basic question - as I haven't used my new trekking poles yet - but are there technical advantages to using trekking poles vs wooden poles/staff?
thank you!
I used telescopic trekking poles, which I also do in walks at home. However, unless you make the effort to learn how to use them, one might as well use a good wooden staff. I say this because most people I see with them (both here and on the Camino) completely fail to use trekking poles to gain the technical advantages they can provide over a simple stick.

Link doesn't workYou can buy everything you need to walk a Camino - including hiking poles - in St Jean Pied de Port. Pierre has two stores - Compostela Direction, 1 Place Floquet and Pilgrims' Boutique, 32 du de la Citadelle. http://www.directioncompostelle.fr
If you need anything in particular (like an Altus raincoat) you can email him and he'll keep it aside for you.
