I've been out with my new CatbellsPro poles this morning. I've walked with other brands of pole for years on and off but I've never really known how to do it properly. I watched the training videos that came with my purchase and practiced and have really enjoyed 6 miles in the sunshine on my local trails putting everything together. Poles are easy to fold / unfold, seem strong and look super classy. Comfy in the hand too which is very important. Also brilliant customer service when I faffed about for ages choosing which height. Will definately be buying from Harrier again!
