I agree Jellboy. We once did "interfere" with a tent when we were wildcamped in Lewis on the Outer Hebrides.

It was a chap with 4 young daughters who were pitched next to us and we knew that they were away for the whole day on a boat trip.

The wind had got up a bit that day and all their stuff that had been left outside their tent was stating to blow about a bit and so we gathered it all up and put it in the entrance to their tent as this was open anyway.

We zipped up the tent doorway and double guyed the windward side of their tent.

We were there when they returned and told them what we had done before they even got to their tent.

It is common sense to look after other people's property but there is a huge difference between "looking after" and the actions of that self opiniated twit that njc123 told us about. In that case I do not know who I am more annoyed about. The person who did that to someone else's tent or the Warden who did not demand that that person leave the site immediately.

So did u get YOUR metal pegs back or not, did u get to keep the new plastic ones too?  Did you keep the hi viz things ?

The only time we have touched anybody's tnt was whne we were camped at a site & a tent was guyed down at all & the wind started to blow badly. Myself, the site owner & my OH went over & pegged all the guys down. We told the owners as soon as they got back. It was their first camp and they were so grateful they went out & bought all some wine.

In your case this person went too far & I would have ben livid if that had happened to me.

Hi

Yes we got the metal tent pegs back they were dumped in a pile by the door and no I did not keep the plastic pegs or high vis stuff I was so mad I took what I could off and with the tent pegs threw them at the woman who was in the offending man's tent who had gone off and said thanks for ruining our holiday !!!
