ola - I am equally cynical. But the question was simply whether they would be 
llowed in the cabin at all. I suspect these days with Ryanair they would have 
o be inside the rucksack to avoid extra charges.
Best regards

   Hi,
    I hope you will all excuse my cynicism but has it been checked with
   Ryanair that they will accept the poles separate to the one bit of
   cabin baggage or must they be placed within the cabin baggage?

       Hola
       
       If
         travelling through or from Stansted Airport please note that
         hiking poles are allowed as carry on luggage or in carry on
         luggage. A very helpful pilgrim wrote to the airport
         authorities and received the following reply. If in doubt take
         a copy with you!
       
       
       "You are seeking
         confirmation as to whether your walking poles are acceptable
         in hand luggage.
          
          The UK's Department for Transport (DfT) and the Civil Aviation
         Authority (CAA) direct airlines and airports as to what items
         should be prohibited from being carried in the cabin or hold
         of an aircraft. UK Airports are now also subject to EU
         regulations in terms of prohibited items.
          
          I am pleased to confirm that European Commission rules (EC300)
         do in fact allow hiking poles. Therefore since the airport is
         now subject to those standards rather than the original DfT
         series of directions, a change to the orders has been made and
         we are now allowing hiking poles through.
          
          I hope my response is helpful and that you will have no issues
         with taking your hiking poles through security.
          
          Yours sincerely

       Good news
