I have 2 walking poles. One is Leki Trail and the other is a Brasher walking pole. They were purchased at different times which is why they are odd. Having 2 brands has given me the opportunity to compare them and I prefer the Brasher pole. The Leki Trail walking pole is okay, but not perfect. Having a pole is better than ...

Last year I did part of the coast-to-coast walk - and before starting it I was advised to buy a trekking pole to aid in my walk - and Leki was a name that I was told meant quality at okay prices.

I have been walking in the countryside since I was a kid. When I was young my parents often took me and my sister out walking up hills and round the countryside. As I grew up I developed a real love for the outdoors. When I was old enough to drive I found myself regularly heading for the mountains. Now I get up to the Lake District ...

Just before Christmas I wrote a review giving advice on the use of trekking poles and now I want to review my current pair that I have used in both this country and abroad. These are the poles that I use for travelling with and they are a top set of trekking poles (I always use two) and indeed they have to be because sometimes they are ... Read the complete review
