Barney Page and some conspiracy type shit.

Rain on the last day lead to aimless walks along the seafront - Will chills on the rocks whilst dodging rain showers.

Chris shoes you how local honey rum should be consumed - straight out of a vase!

Round two at the Japanese place and Ben somehow manages to dodge food poisoning.

Battle over...

Breakfast of choice for many...

The best skatepark in all of Gran Canaria - that fact we never got to skate this beast will haunt us all forever, I'm sure.

Barney stoked on his mini-mate.

Had to be done - 341, this place was amazing.

Massive props again to Sami for TM'ing the hell out of the whole thing! Cheers boss!

Will gets involved at one of Sami's specialist steak-offs.

Failed shotgun - soaked jacket.

Prop that shit up on a chair, set the timer...crew shot!

Room 311 - the scene of many a footage party and unofficial warm up spot for the evening.

Waiting for the cars - b-ball courts WiFi lurk on.

Do-do-da-do do-do-do do-da-do da.

Yam dat pizza Barns!

The Dubs Harm Ditch via Howsey-vision.

Will's ditch eventually took him down - the concrete beast was pretty unforgiving.

Ben Raemers - slowly covering himself in cartoons.

Default Square breakfast spot - a familiar and welcoming sight to those who could get out of bed early enough.

The largest dog on earth.

Trunky D isn't a stranger to the camera. Steez like this don't come for free...

I'm guessing that this was taken before Ben realised that he'd put his trucks on his new plank the wrong way round.

On the other side of the bench from Ben, Will looks on in despair.

First day fountains and Domingo Trunks.

Shelter from the storm - the alternative angle.

Dwindle documentation mandem Tim hits up Spar and stocks up for the crew.

If you look closely enough you can probably make out TM Sami taking early morning sea dip. And yeah, that is how close we were to the beach.

Raemers tries to demonstrate how you drink cider at traditional Spanish cider festivals. And fails.

Rinse these every opportunity you get. Best crisps going.

In addition to today’s third blog installment from the Gran Canaria mob, Will Harmon has come through with a collection of his own snapshots from the mission for you – have a browse below…

Best coffee in town. Not too sure the owner was our biggest fan though.

Will actually spied this rad transition spot out of the car window on route to a small town by Las Palmas. I'm not sure of it's actual name, but we renamed it "The Dubs Harm Ditch".

And here it is from another angle in the dry. If you squint you can make out Raemers doing a trick in the distance...

Ominous clouds lurking in the distance whilst Scott and Will look down on the wrongness below.

The calm after the storm (maybe) with added rainbow.

Default Square serving up a proper start to the day.

The pond spot was somewhat of a bust - well, this part of it was anyway. Out of sight of park security, Chroliver and Ray Mears sessioned until dark.

I'm robbing Will's comment off Facebook for this photo - "food poisoning for four please".

Best skatepark on the island?

It'll be a while until we see these sort of temperatures in the UK - jealous?

Lennon rolls two rigs deep. One's hesh, the other's fresh.

341, over the road from our hotel. Three beers, three euros. Done deal.

After a day of trying to out run the rain, even the wet skatepark was looking attractive.

This is how Daryl "Trunky D" Dominguez spent his hours on the road. In the trunk. Hence the new nickname.

Perfectly timed strobe light rave shot.

The Las Palmas skatepark has the structure for a roof, but nothing to block out the rain. Session cut short and another rainbow shot.

"That's the PR shot sorted lads, now all we need is a name..." (suggestions on a postcard).
