Flagpole for the church

Apparently years ago the church in Bishopstone used to have a flag pole on the top of the tower. Today Doug and I fitted a new one to the tower.

Here's the pics that tell the story.(GPS tagged).



On the way up through the bell tower roof.



Fixing the bottom bracket.



And the top bracket.



The St George's Red Cross flying proud.

And a video of the flag raising!



Sorry about the wind noise, it was pretty windy up there today.



As seen from the ground.

Whilst up there I took the opportunity to take some pictures of the view which is superb from up there. In the distance the new wind power turbines could be seen, one of them turning. I love seeing them, knowing that its clean power for us.

How many men does it take to put up a flagpole?
Answer: 1 and 1 to take pictures to prove that men do work!
