I know what i want but have no idea what it's called and hoping someone here can help me.

Trying to ID my own tent in a sea of others can be a nightmare so i was thinking about getting one of those flexible long poles with some kind of flag on top, a wee bit like this but a lot taller of course.

Does anyone know what the search srting will be please.

We had something similar at a "last night of the Proms" type event to find our way back. When one of our friends went to the loo we moved it 20m to our left.

We found it extremely amusing and so did the people around us.

how do you find your house in a housing estate?... do you have a flag pole outside to help you find it?

Telescopic flagpole on ebay with either a flag or spinner on it. I see a lot of caravans do this on sites. They seem very expensive for what they are though as you'll also need a ground stake

Let's go camping and get back to nature, then frighten the living daylights out of all the local wildlife with a big flapping thing on the end of a pole in the sky

Got ours from Life's a Breeze. Built up a collection of various flags too. Recommend you buy a good one so you don't buy twice. Ground stake needed as well as pole bungees to attach flags with. Tip! Take it down at night especially if you have a 'spinner' as it may wake you or others up in the middle of the night!
Buy solar lights too for when it's dark in winter months. They are fun to have if you change flags regularly to make a 'statement'....
Happy 'flapping'........

Check out our profile pics to see it...4m in height

In the beginning there was darkness.
Then I bought a tent.

I am toying with these options
4.1m Pocket Flagpole
Pocket Flagpole Ground Stake & Storage Bag
2 sets of these, just in case one breaks
and maybe this in Orange

Now that is all from one shop but also looking at some Amazon (tax avoiding *****) stuff like this Telescopic Flag Pole 4M Travel Pole
and i like THIS kind of sock.

Now bear in mind it's to ID in a crowd, not for anything fancy, it's just the Mrs directions are how shall we put it ....... oh yea excrement
