Trekking Poles vs. Pilgrim Staff

[Susan Aldrich]

Greetings fellow Peregrinos:

My adult daughter and I are walking late May.  She just purchased two
lightweight trekking poles at REI.  However, I'm interested in your feedback
as to the necessity/value of poles.

I was thinking perhaps it's better to get a pilgrim staff (wood?) along El
Camino.
I thought this would make a wonderful memento as well as aiding in walking.
(I'm only walking the last 100 or so miles due to time constraints at this
time, but I will be back.)

Thanks in advance.

Susan
