Provenance

Another set of poles which we inherited from the Scottish Ski Club, along with woodworm!! Like most embryonic sports, folk would often make their own equipment until it became popular enough for the manufacturers to make money from it.
Unfortunately, the poles have succumbed to the woodworm and we've had to destroy them to try to stop it spreading.
