I totally agree!!

We've just got back from 2 very windy weeks on top of a hill overlooking Looe in Cornwall.  Because the site is so exposed we had constant wind from the side and then over the middle weekend the weather was dreafdul with really high winds coming of the sea, torrential rain for 3 days solid and thick fog.  It then cleared up for a couple of days giving us back our gorgeous view before we got very strong gale force winds and more rain over the Wed and Thursday. 

I used delta's on all my guy lines for my tent and canopy (the Vango premium one with the door) and was so glad as not one of them budged and my brother borrowed a couple of spares I had for the front of his tent as he was so impressed.  I was even brave enough to leave the canopy up the for the second lot of high winds, instead of taking it down each time the wind picked up, and it was rock solid.  The only pegs that moved were my normal ones holding the bottom of the tent down so I shall be investing in some decent ones to replace these for next time.

My sister in law got talking to one lady at the toilets and she was complaining about the cheap plastic pegs her hubby had got.  When she described them Sandie realised she was talking about deltas so told her how brilliant they were and to definitly not get rid of them lol!!

if you use these instead of normal runners the lines won't work lose.

A bit like this 

I haven't used my deltas yet (the pitch at Corfe Castle was so sheltered the tent would have stayed up with lolly sticks), but I second the comments about the service - Rob returned my call while he was in a hospital waiting room and the pegs and pullers arrived as promised.

The pullers are utterly fab, btw, especially the long one!

Next year, I'm treating the dogs to a dog tether each.
