Upcycle walking poles

[Magpielady]

Hi, can I get second hand poles from Casa Ivar? Happy to make donation. Walking from Santiago to Muxia, then the Primitivo. Will return them when done.....thanks

You could try Pilgrim House. I recall that they have a small collection. You will find address details on their web page, here.

I clearly have been on the internet too long or need less coffee. I thought you were looking for walking poles that had been decorated or turned into something else.

Send @ivar a private message. He said in a recent video he had some donated poles, but that the supply was variable. Pilgrim house also mentioned is a good option and it is just a few doors down from Ivar.

Pilgrim House had a lot of poles when I called in last week. It's an absolute oasis in busy Santiago.

So I take it this 'Pilgrim House ' is distinct from the office that give out the compostelas? I must look it up
next time.
The Pilgrim office, where one registers for compostellas also have a collection of donated poles/sticks/staves. I borrowed and returned some from there for a walk to help me decide if it would be worth getting some of my own.

Pilgrim House has no affiliation with the Pilgrim Office. It's a place of respite and assistance for pilgrims. If you are lucky you can meet @natefaith there.
Unfortunately, they are closed on Wednesdays and Sundays.

Pilgrim House offers service such as printing of tickets, laundry, used pole repository, place to hang out and talk, a more formal debriefing if you want to participate. They can answer questions, etc. Volunteers provide the manpower for the various services. It is great to stop in and say Hello and they are just a few doors down from @ivar's office.

That's what upcycle would imply alright.

I meant re-use someone else's poles . So recycle, upcycle, whatever. Just means they have a second chance of use

Exactly, and it's great to see someone doing their little bit to reduce the load on our environment. That's much more important in this context than the word itself.

In which case, re-use is probably the correct word.
