Biodegradable tent pegs

[ashbyn82]

Does anyone know if they are giving these away again like last year? I can't see any information on the Glasto website or with the information sent with our tickets...

So does that mean we shouldnt bring any metal ones?

Take them just incase.

[tinpottery]

Agreed ! Last years ones were good in theory but useless in practice so I would play safe just in case these mk2 versions are still not up to scratch ....

[r0cky]

yes they are and apparently they have upgraded them so they actually work, unlike last years useless ones!

[FunkyDenz]

Last year we weren't given any biodegradable ones, so were really grateful that we'd brought the metal ones.

I wasn't given any on arrival, and the last thing I was going to do was wander around trying to find some when I had my metal ones with me. Almost everyone I spoke to said they were rubbish. I understand the problems they give the cattle, but to be honest I need the pegs for other camping trips, so I make sure I've got them all when I leave. No matter how bad the hangover is!

Hi I emailed infoman and asked him about tent pegs and this is OFFICIAL!

No, they are not being supplied this year. Mostly because of the problems you so accurately put!

In peace, Infoman

hi

are we getting some tent pegs this year and are they going to be better than the

"ifyoupushinthegroundtheyllsnap" ones we had last year!

i'll still bring my metal ones just in case as our neighbours last year were in a right

pickle as they'd left their ones at home!

cheers infoman

see u in 3 weeks!!
