Lost & Found Please watch for my poles (Silleda to Santiago)

[TrevorH]

Hi everyone; after completing the Salvador last week I was seeking a short route and picked the end of the Sanabrés from Ourense (new to me). Loving it. Staying in the very clean and comfy Xunta Albergue in Outeiro before arriving in Santiago tomorrow. Sadly, someone took my poles from my Silleda Albergue before 8 am this morning. I hope the person truly needed them, but if anyone sees an abandoned pair of black Fitlife poles with blue straps and locks and cork handles, I’ll be in town for the weekend. Let me know! Best poles I’ve used in my six routes to date.

How very disappointing for you. Sorry for your loss; it's incomprehensible to me how someone on a pilgrimage can be so "low" as to steal hiking poles, and that close to Santiago why bother. You can check at Pilgrim House to see if they were left there, or possibly Faith will have other ideas on where else to check for them. I have that same brand, but the Z-style folding ones.

Not everyone's on a pilgrimage, though. Opportunists exist everywhere.
Could they also have been taken by mistake?

As well as Pilgrim House, dozens of poles are left at the Pilgrims Office in SdC every day. Hopefully, you will find something acceptable as a replacement.

They were the only poles in a locked Albergue. I hope the person assumed they were a donated / left pair, and that they served them well. I don’t need other ones now that I’m finished both routes, though I really did for descents that day with my arthritic knee. I can replace these, just annoying, reconciled to it as soon as it happened, thought they might make their way back to me if I posted, that’s all. Thanks!
