We seem to have great crowds of 'air skiiers' around here! No, I think the longer you can get along with out walking sticks of any kind the better, you need to be using all the muscles in your body not relying on sticks.Sue Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463317651625459406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-28005315142376697202016-10-08T17:43:26.056+01:002016-10-08T17:43:26.056+01:00Nice walk you had and the buildings are lovely!

We enjoy the older houses. I've picked a couple out that are my favorites. Stay safe and thanks for sharing your adventures in photos! <br />☆BeckyGrandmabeckyl.blogspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362600588981799211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-52499448463450766902016-10-08T12:00:17.606+01:002016-10-08T12:00:17.606+01:00Hi Kristel.

They are useful for walking up and down hills on unstable ground, but get in the way when walking on the flat. People with dodgy hips or knees might find they help, but I have neither. <br /><br />My walks are a mixture of all terrains and I would rather just be careful where I put my feet rather than be faffing with sticks on the parts when I don't need them.

The reason why you didn't see mant boats is because large sections of the Rochdale canal are closed to navigation following the floods last year.
