Hi Peter,

Just my thoughts here: Interesting. I definately know what you mean, it is 
easier to move along with, but I just can't get over the fact that its just not 
portable enough for a mobility aid for me. Plus, I have learnt a variety of 
Cain techniques, so I don't feel the need for a vibrating warning system. I 
should try one again though, really give one a go.

I bought one of these secondhand over 3 years ago.  And, although I used it 
a few times, last Monday someone who was looking up in the clouds - or 
behind him, got himself intangled with my cane and broke off one of the 
joints.  I was ok because I wasn't far from where I was going and someone 
helped me there, and I managed to get a lift back home when we had finished. 
The only other usable cane I had was the Ultracane so I had to use it and I 
am very glad that I did.    I find that I can walk much faster because it 
slides over the groud much easier because it is top heavy plus the added 
bonus of the 2 vibrating buttons under the thumb to warn you of approaching 
obstacles.    Iwish I hadstarted using it seriously 3 years ago.
