Day 1 of the 2010 (mini) Tour and having passed through a monsoon at Weston super Mare, the boys arrive at Burnham and Berrow for a spot of scran. This allows the weather to sort itself out and commensurate with Mr. Grumpy's fabled organisational skills, the sun comes out for a fine afternoon.

Fat-Boy and Nance are out of the traps early and both notch up 34 individual points in the quest for the Tour Trophy but, with Tate having a bit of a mare, fail to compile a combined score sufficient to take the match money. This goes to Bainey, DJ and Mr. Grumpy.

With parliamentary candidates all over the country losing their deposits, Bainey adopts the opposite position and actually leaves quite a substantial deposit in the scrub land behind the 10th tee. He claims this is the first time this has happened but the prescence of both tissues AND wet-wipes in his bag suggests that he might have a bit of "previous" in this regard.

Official business over, it's off to the Ritz Carlton Ilfracombe for B&B.

Ilfracombe appears to be shut.
