Tried delta legs during our return to camping and found a new use for them.

They are brilliant at deterring the most determined camper from yanking out pegs whilst trying to negotiate a campsite.

By determined i mean adult guys trying in pitch black to thread thier way through a 2 foot gap between my car and the guys ropes without a torch between the three of them instead of going around the car where there was 10 foot gap!.

The deltas held strong despite thier best efforts. lol In future all four corners will be anchored with deltas regardless of the weather as they also work brilliant with kids dashing around.

ps.I didnt really want the car thaqt close to the tent but the site were cramming on as many as possible to the point it was becoming a hazard.
