Yes we have a 9m pole with the last section removed so would agree that a 6m pole is a bit soft. As long as it is anchored properly anything up to 10m in the right position should be safe. Bear in mind that a flag or windsock can be noisy during the night and some have kept us awake in the night. I always drop ours before we go to bed.------------- Nigel

Someone had a big long pole (ooh,errrr missus) with a lovely eagle on it at a site we were on last week. I wasted a lot of time looking out of the caravan window at it. It looked so realistic, swooping in the air. I wonder where you by these from - and what they're called?

We had a 9 metre pole with 3 flags at Fforest Fields. Was used by some people as a compass bearing too.
Next one will be 7 metres ( probably) with 2 flags and a windsock.
PS Don't tell the other half.

We have an 8m pole that we recently bought at the CC National Rally, where we roudly displayed our selection of flags and windsocks. The following week, at a more commercial site, I took the pole down to change a flag and to gaffer tape up some of the sections to prevent them from telescoping when an elderly, flustered couple walked up to me. 'Do you mind getting your flags back up again' the man said with a grin; we've spent the last 20 minutes walking round in circles looking for our 'van. We've always used your flags as a rallying point!

I picked up sthe sea gull kite down in Cornwall. Started to fly it from the pole at about 10.30am. At about 8.30pm this bloke wanders up to our pitch and says he thought that some one had been flying it all that time!
It stayed up there for over a week!

Hang on a minute guys,
Aren't fishing poles designed for catching unruly carp, or am I mistaken?
