Re: terra nova laser competition 1 man tent sale of field and trek

I'll do that before the off, gentlemen - I need a trip across to Edinburgh for a few odds & ends (for example since Summits closed its shop here I can't buy gas in Dunfermline). Thank you all for the advice.

Re: terra nova laser competition 1 man tent sale of field and trek

There are 12 little toothpick pegs in the set for the Photon.

Alloy pegs are sold in sets of 10 ... so you'll need to buy two sets and have a few spares. (I carry 14, just in case ... )

Re: terra nova laser competition 1 man tent sale of field and trek

Having lost a couple of the original Laser Comp pegs when I camped up Snowdon a couple of years ago, I bought some better ones.

I still take my remaining toothpicks but also take a set of 9 titanium v-pegs. (It was a set of 10 until a drunken lout fellow Challenger tripped over one on Montrose campsite last year )

I use the v-pegs for all guying points, as they're under quite a bit of strain, but the toothpicks are usually adequate for the inner/outer pegging points.

Of course, the toothpicks are fine if you're camping on a smooth, perfectly flat patch of short grass ...... if you can find one!
