East Highland Way & Speyside Way cut short through injury

Good stuff,, I did start using poles for all my walks after my injury,,whether I felt the need or not,,,have weaned myself off them now unless struggling with a steep downhill now. (ankle still gives me trouble with high heels but tend not to wear them on the hllls lol )

I've got poles for the descents, which help on my knackered knees (failure to listen to the doc again) and they do help on the flats if you're carrying a heavy pack, still not mastered how to use them on the ascents.

Thankfully, I don't need to worry about high heels

On the ascents,,very short if its steep,,but the tend to just get in the way,,,,,
