...if you’re using the Abbey Line from Watford which I suspect you were, given that you ended up at Euston.

Nope, one participant peeled off to Abbey for Watford, then Tring, the rest to St Albans for St Pancras & short walk to Euston before the Tap de-brief.

I find is that there’s no natural route for a crawl taking in the best pubs so you end up missing some out.

A vaguely circular route for my pubs, visited & intended, might start & finish within .3m from station, and incorporates scenic stroll past cathedral (via Sumpter Yard) & between lakes. Farmers Boy, White Hart Tap, White Lion, Fighting Cocks, Six Bells, Lower Red, Farriers, Boot, Waterend, Blacksmiths, Mermaid. There's a chippy nr Blacksmiths which I cannot report on, but was a life saver for many.

I only spotted this thread earlier today and have just got round to reading it whilst I watch the darts - Great stuff and had me laughing!!!

I've been to st albans once and ended up in the Slug and Lettuce as I had the kids in tow and they were hungry - little feckers!
