Back in May I put an ad in the local rag for the walking poles The M-I-L gave me a few years ago. I only received one phone call about them and it was from a lady who didn't want to buy them but was looking for someone to pole walk with. So, I have taken up pole walking. It really does give a better workout than just walking. Your upper body gets a good workout as well as the lower body.
Suffice to say, I am enjoying the pole walking. I have however discovered one drawback to this activity. The grips and my hands become quite damp and slippery with sweat in this warm weather. I have solved that problem by inventing "Pole Cozies". Go ahead and laugh but I make them out of wool so they absorb all the sweat and keep my hands firmly in place. They are soft and cushiony to hold and can be removed for washing. I'll be posting the pattern shortly.
I started to think it’s a brave bag-snatcher that would take on a pole-walker.
