Travelled back yesterday after a useful first trip west since last August!!

The van performed well even if the fuel spillage problem, though lessened, still exists when attempting to fill to the brim. At least I have found a work around which eradicates any further 'embarrassing' situations at the filling stations!

Surf wise it wasn't an ideal re-intro but at least I have come back with some form of progress to boast, from where I was first thing on Saturday morning.

Jnr worryingly has a lot of effort to put in, mainly on the fitness front, to get anywhere near past levels of ability. His own fault of course, not that he'll acknowledge it publicly, but then teenagers know best; don't they?!!! Deep down he probably realises this, but because of his recent idleness he has now left himself with less than 3 weeks to rectify matters if he wants to enjoy the 2 week jaunt west as normal.

Mrs W though probably got the most satisfaction from the weekend, particularly on Sunday. Just as well she decided to hop on board on Friday then eh?
