Good to meet Al Bundy today in the Railway Portwood. Good turn out (usual suspects!) for our autumn crawl around Stockport. Hope everyone got home safely. Photos to follow.

Don't blame you! Glad you were able to meet up with the rest of us in proper pubs.

Any coin that you can prove was minted north of the Watford Gap is acceptable on buses up here.

Not really a pub crawl though, is it.

You really should come on one of our crawls, we could do with a bit of stimulating conversation.

In the context of a pub crawl, it's anything that's not beer or pub related, I guess. So we can talk about the smoking ban!

Should I bring my machine gun just in case there's any discussion of politics?

That was always the plan. The timings given before were just to show that it could be done by tea-time for anyone needing to catch an earlier train.

Glad you can make it!

Whatever! There's no compulsion to all go the same way - I never do when someone else has done the route. In fact, it would probably be better if we don't all pile into the Arden Arms at the same...

I hear what you're saying Jim, but I think the hill is not as daunting as you imagine, at least it won't be once you've got a few beers inside you. Also, to my way of thinking, the final part of the...

Thanks! It did take a few hours, but luckily I enjoy doing this sort of thing.

I agree, it's been a must-visit for me too. But Nev's description makes it look like the Crown has lost custom to the Magnet and maybe some others, and now the stuffing has been knocked out of the...

OK, here goes. As requested, I've done some trimming to the list, which as Old Boots suggested was becoming a little bit unmanageable. I've designated 10 mainstream pubs, nine wild cards and the...

Or there are buses. This free one (see attached document) might be useful but only runs every 15 minutes and only really covers the town centre, which is walkable.

I've been working on a route...

I've been to most of them, so could give it a go. (It was me that bumped it up to 22, so I suppose it should be me trimming it back again.)

How could I have forgotten?

Two of the longest tunnels in the country, and you want views?

You need to get your accent sorted out, Jim.

...and I think you'll find yourself going through a couple of substantial tunnels, rather than over the top. Unless you're catching the...

Good grief! Only 18 ... and then once you're at the Hope it's only a few minutes to the Nursery.

I've recently acquired Camra's guide to the Real Heritage Pubs of the North West. I've already been...

I would be surprised if we didn't do the three you've named.

Yes, that's what the consensus felt like to me too.
