AboutChris Johnson Expertise I can answer most questions on equipment for outdoor activities such as walking, mountain biking, rock climbing and paragliding, in the UK. I`ve limited watersports experience so you`d be better off asking someone else these questions. Questions about the above activities themselves as well as about the equipment will also be answered as I`ve got several contacts who can pass on information. I`m a keen walker/mountainbiker/rock climber/paraglider pilot in the UK. I`ve been doing outdoor sports for about 15 years including trips to the French Alps and Trekking in the Nepalese and the Indian Himalayas. I`ve been buying and making outdoor clothing and equipment for about the same amount of time.
Experience Waking up at the foot of Annapurna South is something I won't forget. I would say that my first paraglider flight was unforgettable but every flight since seems to have been more unforgettable.
Question Hi there, I'm from South Africa. I do have a some kind of "walking stick or "kierie" which i think is suppose to assist with walking (long) distances. It's quite old and the handle is actually a folded "seat". In other words, (when tired),you can open the folded handle (leather),use it to sit on, screw off a disc attached to the side of the stick, screw it on at the bottom so that the bottom end does not penetrate into the ground. Hope this make sense. What is it called and is it worth anything?
Answer In the Uk this sort of seat is used more to support walking moderate distances by those of "more advanced years". I'm not sure what they are called or what they're worth. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Try doing a search on ebay to see what they are worth.
