The countdown has begun with only seven days to go before we head back west to our regular spot in Poundstock.

Obviously we're hoping for some better quality waves than those experienced a couple of weeks ago. And some more settled weather would be a bonus! It seems this year that the St Swithans effect kicked in forty days before July 15th, rather than the more usual after requisite. Not that this bothers us as a rule.

To be truthful I am more concerned that Ben rediscovers his 'get up & go', which seemed to have 'got up & gone' last time out. I'm sure it will, as there have been snippets that the old Ben is emerging from his teeny 'blonde moment' of recent times. Something which by common consent will come not a moment too soon.

Maybe the mid-holiday detour to Camborne to watch the Pirates play a pre-season friendly with Leicester, will complete this desired transition and confirm his return to rugby action soon after as well. If there is a god...?
