I fly one just cos I like the smiley face...

We bought our flag pole last year - we were going camping over the 4 year anniversary of my brother being injured in Iraq and as i like to mark/celebrate the occasion (well he did survive!) i bought a really cool "help for heroes" flag and another "support our troops" flag. 

This week we are off for our first camp of the year, and we are going with South Africans, Brazilians & Brits, so we'll have a right old selection this time!!!

I will also be flying a 'Support our troops'   flag when I go to Stratford upon Avon racecourse. camping  May BH for a week.

Will be my first camp this year really looking forward to it.

I also always fly the Jolly Roger, which I think should be compulsory, especially when anywhere near water!

Here is mine last year altough my flagpole is not as posh as all on here! Having seen the price on the link I may invest in one as they aren't as dear as I expected.

I'm also hoping flags will solve a problem I have with birds sitting on my ridge tent and using it as a pooping station. I'm hoping to get a string of small flags/bunting and tie it accross the ridge. I know it will only move very gently in the warm, light breezes we are due this summer, but it should be enough to keep the little critters off!  Just not sure if it will look a little daft though???

look what you've started now. I'm spending more money on 'needed kit' again. I suppose I'd better let the boys choose them so god only knows what we'll end up with.

Silly question, what size flags do i need to buy?

We bought our 5m flag pole for a tenner from a guy selling fishing rods on Tir Prince market in Towyn. After being at Builth showground for 5 night during a champ show, it was so packed it was the only way of seeing which way was the shortest one back to our caravan. Next year there I rigged it up with a welsh draagon flag and solar lights. Our kids and some of the neighbors found it really easy to find their ways then Well worth the cash for a bit of fun.

Only downside was that everybody knew where to find us for one of my beers?!!
