I am after a walking stick with the following spec...

Navy, fordable, and adjustable down to 80cm (32 inches), and for left hand.

Am tired now of searching Ebay and Amazon (1000s of listings but not what I want)- anyone know if such an item exists?

    Hi Stephen, just had a bit of a look, found lots of different versions of walking stick.

    Have a look at this example and let us know what sort of thing you want compared to it.

    saw that listing too LOL I have measured the size I need according to multiple sites explaining how to, and it is 80cm = 31.5 inches. Size seems to be the issue as they're all bigger than that.

    You can cut them down to size quite easily, I've done quite a few for grandparents and parents in past years. The rubber foot just pulls off and the aluminium tube just cut with a hacksaw or if your feel flash a plumbers pipe cutter.

    I'll keep a look out and see if I spy any others  that might be a better match to your needs.

    I was thinking that but was unsure how the internal cord was attached, I knew i'd screw it up LOL
