Hi, all I seem to do is ask questions! But I have another:

We had a test run putting up the flysheet for our new EuroHike Swale tent last night. We are very impressed with the space in a reasonably compact tent, but it is a lot more complicated to put up than our old two man job.

We didn't get around to putting the ground sheet in, or the bedrooms but we will do that at the weekend when we have another go.

My question is that there are three types of tent pegs that come with the Swale. (Please see below) The majority are type a; there are quite a few of type b; and there are only a few of type c (like a halo). What should we be using the different types for? We presume that type a are for the guy ropes, but what about the other two types? Thanks.

Thanks very much for the info. I think I'll get myself down to the shops and have a look at the replacement pegs.

Thanks again.

I sent my order my Snail Mail for Deltas last Friday and they arrrived on Tuesday - great service!

They really do appear to be a wonderful design and great "out-of-the-box" thinking. 

Personally, I wouldn't get rid of Peg B - just use them instead of Peg A.  Quite adequate for pegging sides, if not quys - though depends on type of ground and weather.
