After the trouble I had last summer getting the bloody pegs in the bloody ground I am seriously considering getting some! Anybody else got / used em? If so, any comments?

Seem a good idea

What we did on hard Spanish soil was to use a cheap wood bit in the cordless drill and bore holes in the earth

One size bit was ideal for the windbreak and very quick to erect with little hammering and no splitting of wood

A smaller size was used for the awning pegs with similar good results

Might be an idea - one site we stayed at last year, put the tent up, then had to shift it cos the pegs kept bending.  Fortunately it was a frame tent so we just dropped it, removed the canvas, and carried the frame.

We were going to buy some, but then ScampisOH's wonderful parents gave us their big bag of them (they still caravan, but no longer use the awning) - YAY!  Must admit I haven't tried them out yet, but OH's parents said they work well on grass (even when baked hard), but they had problems with them on compacted gravel hard-standing - had to drill a pilot-hole first, then the gravel fell in hole and deflected the Wurmis so they wouldn't go in straight.  Looking forward to trying them out.

I have tried them, and although they do work, there are stonger pegs out there.

I prefer not to go camping with something that requires the likes of a cordless drill to put your tent up, of course you CAN put these wurmi things in by hand but try doing a few and you will soon get fed up.

I much prefer to use the Delta Ground Anchors, easy to put in and take out and very strong indeed, especially the metal ones.
