just read on the camp site. if your tenting they recommend rock pegs due to the ground being hard. just a heads up :icon_biggrin:

Is this for real Mike ? I have never even heard of rock pegs.... Its not even April 1st yet :happy7:

The site is in an old slate quarry and the ground is really tough - first time I camped there (years ago) I bent every peg in my pack. This is what I use now for awnings and tents - as well as a solid metal hammer and strong peg extractor.

Do in need a special connection for the power (transformer) or something ? Or is the standard 3 pin sufficient? 

You need a cable as used for caravan with exterior plug, something like this, various different versions
