Where do i start well a few weeks ago i was in the lakes and when erectin my VANGO ORCHY 600 I cracked one of the cross over poles in the dome section. I gaffer taped it up and my break wasnt ruined earlyier today i removed the elastic and went shoppin for a new pole in go outdoors they have loads of vango polesbut not my size the bloke in there wasnt very helpful either.
I measured the pole from the tip to the bottom of the metal bit and i get 60.5 cm but i cant work out how to measure the next bit do i do the diameter of the metal bit or the fibre glass bit i've looked on many sites now and cant work it out any help would be greatly appreciated as i need this pole for the weekend.

Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes
My advice might be irrelevant if the metal part you speak of is not a normal metal ferrule, instead being a "one off" part for the Orchy.
However, if it is a normal ferrule then you need the correct diameter fibreglass pole, then cut it to length and put the ferrule on and rethread etc etc.
