Leki Super Makalu Cortec Pole

...with a matched pair of LEKI Poles. A little bit about LEKI : ≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈ LEKI is always written in capital letters because it is an acronym. LE from the first two letters from Klaus Lenhart’s last name and KI is from the location of the company, Kirchheim, Germany. LEKI is pronounced, Lake-ee They are well known ...

Review of Leki Super Makalu Cortec Pole

Last week I walked the 80 mile Great Glen Way across Scotland from Fort William in the west to Inverness in the east. The walk is mainly flat although I\'d say about 25% of it is up and down some fairly big hills. I had never used walking poles before last week and seeing as I had not walked a long distance walk for nearly 10 years I thought I would give these particular pair a go, given they had such a good review from Miskah. Well I\'m very happy ...
...highly enough to other long distance walkers - this is what I did on the way last week in fact to quite a number of non-walking pole walkers ! After the 5 day walk I was expecting to come home with a limp and a bit of difficulty walking for several days after - well that just has not happened as the poles have reduced the forces on my legs especially on downhill parts. My arms are now stronger and I am now feeling as fit as I did 10 years ago thanks ...

Review of Leki Super Makalu Cortec Pole

I hillwalk in Scotland regularly, most weekends and holidays and use walking poles. I would not be without them especially on steep downhill paths and tracks. I am going to Austria on a walking holiday in a couple of weeks. I want to take my poles but how do I pack them? Do I carry them separately or put them in with my luggage? Have never been walking abroad before so would welcome any help/advice from members. ...
