60 mph is storm force 10 my freind, there would have been sensational reports nationwide on news channels, some people would have died, roofs would have been torn of buildings, Michael Fish would have been racked with guilt (again) if those winds were experienced in July

I would suggest that force six may have been nearer the mark, 22 - 27 mph, as i said, generally conventional pegs would hold in those conditions, but deltas would ensure a contented nights sleep

We took deltas with us last week and didnt use them and onlyused the metal pegs that came with the tent, was a bit worried but OH said they'd be fine and they were,and that was with really strong winds both nights we were away I think its got a lot to do with how they're hammered into the ground not the actual peg, although I will keep the deltas on standby just in case

I`d just use the Delta`s from the off if you have them with you. Saves you worrying then does it not ? It does in fact have a lot to do with the peg.

force 10 is whole gale rather than storm is it not ? Storm force is 11 on the scale & is 60 knots rather than 60mph ?

Sorry - wind freak!

Sorry Caster, I was totally wrong (just checked) & you were quite right. Got my (wrong) info from a site with `revised' Beaufort scale . SORRY !
