You could use delta pegs on your footprint but it would be a bit of a waste of good pegs when cheaper ones would do. I've got the plastic ones and they're brilliant.

Have a great time - I went to Wolds Way last year and loved it - the showers etc are fantastic! It was quite windy though as it is fairly high up and yes, the ground is hard! We used rock pegs for most of the pegging out and Deltas for the main guys. Just use ordinary pegs for the groundsheet - anything else would be a waste. And don't worry if you run out of rock pegs - they sell them in the shop!
Enjoy!

Hi De88ie
Wolds Way is a lovely site, but as everyone else has put, you need rock pegs. I was really pleased with my box of blue diamond rock pegs, which went in to the ground like butter.
Have a lovely time, best wishes Sam

I've camped at Wolds Way and the plastic Deltas went in...no problems.

The main use for deltas is on guylines. The footprint wouldn't necessarily need any pegging as the tent on top stops it going anywhere. That said, we use cheap wire pegs on the footprint just to stop it blowing around whilst we're sorting everything else out.
Normal or rock pegs will be fine for the bottom of the round its perimeter.
If you find dry conditions has left already hard ground even, well, harder, use the rock pegs first to create a bit of a pilot hole for your nylon deltas.
Enjoy your trip.
