Not sure if this has been discussed before but cannot find anything.

Have just spent a week at this fabulous addition to the network and the only problem we had was, like all our fellow caravanners, getting awning pegs to actually stay in the ground.

In over 50 years of camping and close on 20 years of caravanning this is the first time I have been able to extract all the pegs just using fingertips and virtually no pressure at all.

Is this a common problem with new pitches or as was suggested by one guy that the wrong pea gravel had been used as sub strata which has resulted in no grip for your pegs?

I hope that it is the former, as it would be such a pity that it might be an ongoing problem as awnings are an integral part of the whole experience for many of us.
