 When I bought my Terra Nova Voyager (the Superlite version) I was puzzled to find that it came with 12 pegs as advertised (and as stenciled on to the peg bag) but appeared to have 13 pegging out points.
Searching online revealed more than one person similarly puzzled (and a couple on this very site in fact).
However, an email from TN resolved it: The two middle loops don't require pegging. They're just there to be used if you really want to use every point possible. In fact that means you have a spare peg!
Here's the actual email from Sharon Brogdale over at TN: RE: Terra Nova Voyager Superlite - not enough pegs?
The Voyager tent has always had only 12 pegs supplied,
The 2 at the points of the lateral hoop are not required this leaves 1x spare peg.
It is ok to peg them out, the loops make it optional to add at that point if required.

 So the designers said "it needs 14 in wind", and the marketing people said "no that'll be too heavy and too expensive. Call it 12."

Aye - and I reckon it could do with another couple of guys as well but that's another story (and blog posting in fact

  Great thread though! First off in reading the title above RedYeti, I thought I'd missed a Sherlock Holmes mystery read from back when I was 13!

Ah... but is it as innocuous as it reads? Is it perhaps not a coded message revealing a clue as to the killer's real plans? As the great man almost once said; once you eliminate the mundane, only the highly unlikely and bordering on ridiculous remains. Elementary my dear Gamble.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal, they lay down for the night and went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. Holmes said: "Watson, look up and tell me what you see". Watson said: "I see a fantastic panorama of countless stars". Holmes: "And what does that tell you?" Watson pondered for a moment: "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow." "Why? - What does it tell you, Holmes?" Holmes was silent for a moment then spoke: "Someone has stolen our tent."

 Re: blog post - when the going gets tough, those Y-pegs fail to go into the ground - then snap off at the narrow point. You might want to try Hilleberg Stingers, which work much better.
Anybody want to buy a Superlite Voyager in about three weeks...?

 Trevor, as I'm sure you're already aware Sherlock Holmes' older and more intelligent brother was Mycroft, who worked for the Foreign Office. Ah... but is it as innocuous as it reads? Is it perhaps not a coded message revealing a clue as to the killer's real plans? As the great man almost once said; once you eliminate the mundane, only the highly unlikely and bordering on ridiculous remains. Elementary my dear Gamble.
What he actualy said was: Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth

Guys - I know the quote As I said: As the great man almost once said... Hence the "bordering on ridiculous" - hardly a Holmesism! Wow this really has rampaged off topic eh?
