5 x 3meter poles at 20/25mm diameter (like mine) = £30 (2 quid per meter/mallet)
or
50 x 3meter canes at 16/18mm diameter (similiar to ski poles) = £42 (app. £.30 per meter/mallet)
As for 'wicked high quality' bamboo. I can't seem to find any UK suppliers that grades their bamboo. Apparently there is a big difference in grades and it comes down to silica in the soil which shows itself as brown dots in a cross-section of pole.
