Good to have join our community Paul and already making a great contribution, much appreciated
I totally concur with the advice about walking/ski poles (
sounds better than walking sticks), in the past couple of weeks I was with a group of younger men (
and fitter, but not yet wiser) on a training yomp over the Brecon Beacons culminating in a descent of Pen y Fan and I got some stick (
sorry for the pun) for using my poles, but my knees don’t ache!
The 62 series is a terrific piece of kit and there are lots of little tricks to make it use easier; I will post them here and feel free at any time to ask.
Callum is probably already in the Clachaig Inn, so as a second best I will now open a bottle of black sheep - Cheers
