Another slow month, but up to 49.

After completing the 100 New Pub Visits in One Month Challenge last month, this November has been slow, with just 84 new pub visits with 18 revisits, a total from the commencement of the new pub-going year of 26th May to the present, of 259 new visits to purpose built pubs, meaning I'm on target to complete the 365 New Pub Visits in 365 Days Challenge; halfway with just 106 more to go.
A visit to Pilot Inn has taken me to 6 for the year. Omicron has kicked a planned trip to that Lunnon into the long grass for now.
Mighty impressive figures .Good luck.
165 - off to do a ramble of the Black Country's finest for three days, mainly revisits as my pals have never had the pleasure of places like the Bull and Bladder, Ma Pardoes etc. Hopefully bag enough to get me up to 175 but that'll probably be me for the year I suspect.
I have managed 119 new pubs this year so far, which I find amazing really. I have today gone to the new JDW Navigation Inn in Kings Norton opened today, which I last visited in 2011 but will not count as a new pub. I wanted to do a review of it as I fund it brilliant and we enjoyed all 6 guest ales on, but I cannot do a review on here as when I try to get to the pubs I get a message ----Your connection is not private ..Back to safety. I get that message with so many sites that I use it is a pain but I do not know how to deal with it. Hoping this gets through.
Happy Christmas everyone.

Are you using Chrome? You might be able to ignore the message by going to Details and Advanced (for websites you trust, like PuG, obviously!). Things to try are making sure your computer date/time is correct and checking your browser and antivirus are updated. You could also try clearing your cache (can advise if needed).
This weekend was wiped out by serious man flu (not the plague thankfully) so the current figure is 91, I may not manage to improve on that and make the century, depends on whether or not I can find the get up and go or not or indeed if Boris allows me.
Thank you. I am on Google chrome, and the date and time on my netbook are correct. I will have a look in the details next time it comes up. Wouldn't know where to start clearing cache, Norton look after antivirus. It doesn't ome up with everything, but confusing why it has started with things that I use regularly from my bookmarks.
Don't think I will get any more new pubs now, but managed 3 new ones in Liverpool on my Dale St crawl plus another Sommar in Birmingham so total now 123.

Took a punt on central London today and achieved my 100 target for the year fairly easily but no cask at all today.
I reached 122 a couple of weeks ago, and won't be picking up any more new pub visits now. Quite happy with that total, given that travelling was either illegal or discouraged for about half of the year.
Do you know which version of Windows you are using? If it is Windows XP then I know what is going on and it is a tricky one to help with.
There might still be a way for you to get to PuG, try out this link :pray: http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk:8080/
Finished on 51 which isn't great.
Still, some people don't even get to go to a pub every week never mind visit a new one.
Always look on the bright side...................................:cheers:
Finished 2021 on 123 new pub visits,of which 105 came in the second half and nearer my usual run rate of 200 new visits per year.
Compared with the pitiful 2020 total of 60,I'm reasonably pleased with the 2021 total.:cheers:
177 in the end after a fair number of ticks in the Black Country. Gotta be looking for 300+ next year...
Four pubs in Abingdon on New Years Eve got me to 155 for the year, which I'm pretty pleased with considering the delayed start to pub going and all the faff with outdoor-only drinking.
My new visits year didn't start until 26th May, with 285 new visits to date, though four were modern pubs, not purpose built ones dating back to at least the 19th century. Ultimately, with almost five months to go, I'm on track to complete the 365 New Pub Visits in 365 Days Challenge.
Topped out at 149.
Happy New Year to all, and let's hope all our counts are up in 2022.
Targets hit and missed in 2021:
1) Upload all 2021 reviews before the end of the year - hit on New Year's Eve.
2) Upload all 2021 photographs before the end of the year - completed on New Year's Day, so missed by 24 hours.
3) Reach 55% of all open Central London pubs reviewed - badly missed for the third year running (was 53.4% a year ago, but curiously down to 52.8% - something to do with the mix of reviewed closures and unreviewed new openings).
4) Reach 45% of all open Kent pubs reviewed - hit clear out of the ground (now 54.6%).
5) Reach 40% of all open West Midlands pubs reviewed - just missed last year, but hit this time despite extended travel restrictions (now 41.9%).
Final tally for the year was 183, which I suppose wasn't too bad all things considered but well down on 'normal', whatever that is.
