We all drove past her house near Pateley Bridge on Sunday and gave her a little wave (with 2 fingers !).

Me i just hate them and their stupid stupid Lecci poles that are destroying the Fells !

Would those be the spring-loaded poles for "Nordic Walking"?
Saw a fair few people with them in the Black Forest a couple of years ago - they looked complete and utter wallies striding confidently along the pavement with a pair of poles!

Those are the stupid things, much loved for scaling the heights of Ambleside High Street and cluttering up the coffee shops ! The problem with them is that they hole the surface, water gets in and erosion starts times that by a few thousand ! but of course that's nothing compared with a few 4x4s is it :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

That's a tad worrying as everyone seems to be selling cheap ones of late, so I expect to see rather more of them as fashion accessories. I am contemplating buying a pair...to use as puddle depth gauges! :lol:

They do have a valid reason, there design to reduce the stress and weight on your knees. But like most things they are now more of a fashion statement than actually required.
Personnaly I blame that wainwright bloke for informing people about the moors, dales and lakes. If he had kept quite, then the ramblers army wouldn't know where to walk outside of their own areas. He went and spoilt it for the rest of use.
