Poles to Kamloops

[rhill32]

Hi All

I'm getting concerned that I will not be able to get my poles to the comp.
I will be travelling to Kamloops in March coming from Australia. Getting poles to Vancouver will be the easy part, but I not sure how i will go getting them from there to Kamloops. I was looking at flying with Air Canada as they do use an A300 or A320 plane in which I'm sure you can get poles on, they also use some smaller prop plane as well. I will email them to check anyway.
I was just a bit worried because a few people over here have said that I wouldn't be able to get them there. I know there are poles there that we can use but I really like jumping on my own poles.

I hope that somebody out there will have some info that will be able to help me out.

I am in Vancouver and if you can get the poles here, I can help you. I am going to Kamloops by car on March 4th and if this is not too late for you, I can bring poles with me.

Thanks Pogo Stick
My event is on the 4th, so unfortunatly your generous offer will get my poles there too late.

I'll be leaving Aust on Sunday 28th and should arrive in Vancouver on the 28th and hopefully fly straight to Kamloops.

Thanks

I didn't think there were any planes that flew into Kamloops that were big enough to take poles.

There are several other threads in this forum that discuss this issue, you may find some helpful information in them.

Rob, have you considered driving from Vancouver to Kamloops with your poles? It's really not that far, and you'd have local transportation while you're up there. I doubt that it would cost THAT much more to rent a car. And you'd see a lot more of Beautiful British Columbia driving than flying.

Just an idea.

I'm not sure if this would be much help but It looks like I vault with you on the third. If you could ship your pole to me I could drive them out. I'm leaving on the 2nd it's about a 6hr drive. If you decide not to bring your poles let me know what you need I might have it to bring with me.

Hey Robert. I was shipping my poles to Master but I'm also shipping poles for two girls who jump the day you do, but I don't go until Friday. Can I ship mine to you and pay you to drive them? We are shipping them directly to Boston on the return. Worse case if you can get them there I can make other arrangements for the way home. Please advise. Thanks in advance!

bubba,
I would light love to....But, on monday I ruptured my pectoral muscle lifting...I might need surgery, if they can, and I'll be in a sling for 6wks. So unfortunatly I am not going to Kamloops

[Bubba PV]

OUCH!! Sorry!!

Dan Holton - how are you getting your poles there?

[Bubba PV]

With Robert out I really need some help here. Two girls who always ship their poles with me jump on Wednesday and I go Friday, as does Master, who originally volunteered to take my poles. My/their poles can be anyplace in the US up to 10 days before the event if someone will drive them over in time. If you know a girl or younger guy who jumps on Wednesday, please pass this along. I'm happy to pay $100 if you will take the poles on your car from someplace in the US to the meet on time. PLEASE contact me at polevaulter@msn.com. Thanks! Bubba

I may need to connect a couple of girls who may need to borrow poles. Anyone have small poles for rent?

Have you checked pole available for competitors?
