I have that peggy peg awning tie down kit and it works well. The only thing I have of theirs that is poor is the ground sheet pegs.
I bought mine from the Mirror Guard man at a show. He now appears to be selling something called Ezipeg instead and they have a similar kit.

Thanks David,
I should have said that I’ve already Iordered another pack via Amazon but the Peggy Peg website has this - which could be useful. The base bit is pegged in and the awning leg slots in with 2 sliders covering it. So easy to unclimbed and put away.
And a couple of other interesting things if you go back a page.

Does anyone know of a UK stockist of their range.
The German based website has a lot of information but no means of ordering. When I bought them 8 or 9 years ago it was from an odd company I think - car spares or something similar. They are very good but I need more. Martin

Re: Binoculars

I have this 1943 pair that I bought from a junk shop 40+ years ago. They are very clear but are heavy and so I have a lighter smaller pair in the van (Olympus 8x21).

Depends what you want them for Tim. A big number at the beginning means more magnification but also more image wobbling. A bigger number at the end means a brighter image so better at night. Hence bird watchers go for 8x32 whilst sailors go for 7 x50. --

Best I ever tried were 7x42 made by Leica which cost a few grand. Hence my second hand Carl Zeus 8x32 (East German so cheapest) will continue to suit me. Excellent for reading signposts in the evening, not too heavy or wobbly. David

little. I have a pair of binoculars bought I think more than 20 years ago - but too big and bulky for my minimalist living in a campervan. I chose them for the wide angle viewing after finding that peering through concentrated high mag ones could make me feel dizzy and nauseous. I wonder if these days there are compact versions that'd suit me. I understand little of these ?? x ?? figures bandied about. TimS

Mine are 42ml x10, Mike. Margaret’s choice on the advice of the shop. Right on the limit for hand held over long distances. At 8 miles I almost needed a tripod. I don’t think that it’s a question of the magnification with these as with the crispness of the image, the depth of focus and the total lack of chromatic aberration or flaring. For things up to a few 100s of yards, the optics deliver a very impressive 3D image.After Ern's posting I looked at a few reviews and have ordered from Amazon a Celestron 71335 Nature DX 10x56 and a tripod adapter as I have a camera tripod and mono-pod. I chose the 10x56 being one step up on the 8x42. Thanks Ern. Alan.
