Arriving at Blue Hills campsite near Perranporth end of next week, and like all good campers I thought I would check on the likely weather conditions I am likely to be greeted with. I'm just a bit worried about Friday afternoon, do you think I may need Delta pegs ?

Definitely looks dodgy, that's about a storm force 25 gusting 30.  I think maybe double pegged Deltas may be in order.

It's things like that that have stopped me using metcheck.  They've had the bug for years and if they can't be bothered to fix it then I can't be bothered to look at their site.

Ppff, all you need is a monoatomic katana made from unobtanium and some Angel tears for lubrication.

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

monoatomic katana

Is that a hybrid of one of the atomic kittens with a bit of dame kiri thrown in?

Honestly... I don't know what you would want Delta Pegs for...

I've camped in worse using carefully placed splinters and toothpicks and have always been fine!
