- Time of past OR future Camino
- Some but not all, and other routes too.
A few days ago I went out for a short walk and because of the snow and ice took my Leki poles with me.Before anyone in the UK says I shouldn't have gone out in the "beast from the East" I'm now fully aware of how stupid I was.
Managed to get to my destination but on the way back took a few tumbles on the ice, it wasn't until the next day that I realised how bruised I was. But the main thing was I had bent the lower section of one of the poles, this hurt me more than the bruises. Anyone who has Leki poles will know they're not a cheap item and in the UK you can only buy them in pairs.
After a bit of inter web searching on the computermebob I found out that Leki do spares, as we speak I have the lower section winging its way to my local Walking Gear shop.
I guess the moral to this story is, don't go out in dangerous weather and if you do make sure your gear is good quality and you can get spares.
The most important thing I've learn't is that I won't be doing a winter camino anytime soon.
Sorry for the ramble.
