Found walking poles; Whernside

Long shot this - but I found a matching pair of walking poles (with walking stick handles) on one of the lesser used routes up Whernside last Friday (11th July). If by any remote chance the owner is a user of this forum, send me a P.M. and we'll figure out how to get them back to you.
 
Just a thought, but could they potentially belong to a paraglider pilot? They're notorious for leaving poles, phones, cameras etc... all over the place. If you want to PM me some details (maybe either a photo or location, but not both?), I can publicise your find among the 2 local clubs.
 
Thanks; they were on the steep direct path that leads up from above Gunnerfleet Farm - the one that emerges onto the ridge only about 300 m SW from the summit.
