It seems an age and indeed is an age as missed opportunities, injuries and other pressing committments have prevented me from not just getting in to the sea; but christening the new Bear!

Well hopefully that is about to be put right for the next 8-9 days as Boris is being loaded up ready to travel west tomorrow. It's not the now usual overnight trip as we've decided to amble down during the day tomorrow. But with any luck and judgement we may be able to get in for an evening surf when we get to Poundstock.

The plan is to stop off in Bideford en route so that Suz can get to see a wood engraving exhibition, while Ben and me walk the hound and refuel.

On Saturday we're headed to Camborne for the Pirates last game of the season, though whether we head to Gwith or such like on the way remains to be seen. We'll play it by ear.

Then on Sunday Parky is due to head up our way on his way back to Newton Abbot which will be great. We last met back in August when we ended up at Watergate at a time I was testing a Bear for potential purchase. Either way it will encourage the surf mindset which is something my life is crying out for at present.

Beyond that we'll see how things pan out....
