Still on a huge learning curve here and this forum with all the advice and recommendations has been a great help but now the OH has found a nice site in Belgium that is on the sand dunes so now I have another queston..

What pegs do we use?

Logic tells me wooden but as my knowledge of tent pegs could be written on the back of a postage stamp, I figured I better ask the experts

I love the delta pegs but if I were camping on beach sand I would use big wooden pegs 12" to 24" long as they need to be hammered in deep to take a grip.

Oh no!

Another chance to get the Delta brigade going!

Actually Deltas are a sound design, but buy metal, not plastic.

I use long thick steel pegs, very strong & not affected by stony ground. Can be crossed if weather is dire (touchy point at the mo').

But don't rely on the useless bits of wire that come as standard, and when selling a tent on don't forget to keep your strong expensive pegs & pass the new ones on.

I know Rob was working on a sleeve to fit over the Delta for use in sandy conditions, not sure if it's readily available yet though.

Keviebaby, if you get enough Deltas for your guys then crossing pegs etc will not be needed.

Thanks guys.....  advice appreciated as always
