buy a hiking/trekking stick. they're relatively cheap and serve your purpose well and are adjustable.
if the branch feels wet, you need to let it dry out. leave it in the sun for a few weeks ( i know how hard that can be in the UK) then when you're happy with the moisture content of your timber use a clear sealer to stop the timber from drawing any water in.
