rex.. see my question in the modified delta peg thread .. please :)

Thanks for the tips Rex.

We've decided to give this weekend a miss - NI is to have horrendous weather all day tomorrow . (As is probably the rest of the UK!) But these are things for us to bear in mind if we get out next weekend as the ground will undoubtedly still be very wet.

i think it must have worked loose, with the wind putting the strain in different directions. Just before it came out i saw it was sticking up out of the ground and i was going to hammer it back in .. and then i got side tracked until the tent tried to cave in on me! It was lucky i was standing by the pole when it happened.!

if you look at the pics of the wind breaker pole you can see how soft the ground was.  The mud had formed a perfect 'sleeve' but i was just too late to get the picture.

or maybe i didn't have it at the proper angle in the first instance. It was difficult to work out the vertical
