Hi All,
Been a while since been on here!
Some advice please re flag pole. Recently bought one, kids been badgering me. Its also handy as now the kids are growing up a little, be good for them to see where the caravan is.
I've bought a ground spike for the pole to fit on/over and its quite long (its just like a very long stick to shove in the ground). Was thinking, is this the best way to get the pole up, doesnt feel very secure to me. Am thinking I'll probably have problems getting it in the ground far enough so as its secure.
Are there any other ways you set this up?
Many thanks.

How tall is your pole? For 3m poles one ground spike is enough. For taller poles you may need more ground spikes.
But they do the job. Stick them 1/3 in the ground and it should be fine.
