Ground Anchors

Anyone got experience of decent ground anchors?
I've seen a foldaway one but it looks a bit weedy and has too many moving parts for my liking
There are some more rigid types but I think they'd take up the majority of the boot space
The rail & pin type are good and don't take up too much space, however, they take a long time to deploy & recover

Any suggestions? Wink

AndrewS has plenty and so has Slimer !

Andrew's worked magnificently helping Slimer pull him self out of a rather slippery and potentially bad situation.

Cheers for that Penguin, i'm also interested in the pin type shown here (from the same thread)

Can't find anything as robust in UK, any idea of a supplier?

I will bring my ground anchor on the 26th, give you the keys to my 110 as it has a winch and you can have a play. Laughing I have the PRT one at this address http://www.scorpionracing.co.uk/ In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

500$ that's the price for the heaviest

What are you saing about the pins working better in the sand?
Can you explain that?

I want the anchor for in the sand, as on mud,9/10 you'll find a solid tree
(I got stuck on the Corsican beach, and don't want that again Wink ) In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.
