Has broke! OK, it cost 8 squid at Morrisons. So did most o` the others I saw on site this week. Now I noticed their poles seemed to stick out o` the ground less than mine. So I bashed mine in good and proper. Safe as houses!
You guessed the rest. Couldn`t get `em up . . . ha ha so I`m down a pole, lucky it wasn`t more . . .
Any simple solution to this simple problem - other than the obvious? MORE guy ropes? Hope not . . .

You could get a mop/brush stale and sharpen it at one end to replace the missing pole.

Did you leave a pole on site just stuck there then?

Everyone seems to have this problem, even expensive windbreakers don't seem that good.

The end o` the pole is still there. I bashed it further down for safety. Did the same with a plastic guy peg which also snapped. Hopeless aren`t I?

Yes!

Are there any nice campsites near to a beach around Morcambe? Not too far away from me, but I usually head up further up the M6 towards Silloth or Dumfries and Galloway...

There`s Westgate Caravan Park down the road from where I live.  About a mile from the shore, mind.I`m not familiar with the sites in my own area (there are loads o` residentioal ones)  but there`s a beach side site at Haverigg nr Millom you might know about. . . . .natives are a tad strange  . . .rumour has it they all sing out of tune . . .
