    My preference is the 4th but flexible.
    As time goes on, tickets are likely to become more expensive, especially for those unlucky enough not to live in Yorkshire, which I would suggest makes an October date not very realistic.

    Objections have been raised to November 4th and 11th.

    No one has objected to November 18th yet...

    18th November then folks?

    how about as a rough itinerary:

    Kings Head (Station Tavern) opens 11:30
    The Sportsman
    Wood Street Craft Beer House opens 12:00
    The Vulcan
    The Grove
    Rat & Ratchet
    The Star Inn
    The Head of Steam

    Early doors Spoons: The Cherry Tree (JD Wetherspoon)

    wild cards:
    The Plumbers Arms (newly opened but on way t'Grove or back)
    Magic Rock Tap opens at 3pm very off piste but could be linked with
    Slubbers Arms (the famous Taylors house)
    The Warehouse also not a classic but on the way t'Grove or back.

    Feel free to comment or shoot down in flames or fine tune.

    Magic Rock Tap appears to be about 10 minutes walk from the Sportsman, and I for one would not find that off-putting, especially as the Slubbers Arms is only a short stroll further on. Then back into town for the Vulcan (13 minutes) or there are bus alternatives for those who prefer not to walk (and it may, of course, be snowing).

    Looks promising, OB.

    I was thinking the distance from the Slubbers to the Star may be a tadge long for a comfortable day, hence off piste. I suppose the order could be swapped round to accommodate MR and the Slubbers ending up at the HOS as is traditional for Huddersfield crawls.

    The Star might also be considered "off piste", as it's 16 minutes walk from there to the Head of Steam.

    I would like to tick off both the Magic Rock Tap and Slubbers Arms ,so up for the walk from The Sportsman.

    The problem is that the Magic Rock and the Slubbers are to the north of the town centre, while the Star and the Rat are to the south. What about a couple of extras in the centre for those who don't want to do the excursion to the north (such as the Northern Taps )?

    1. Kings Head
    2. Wood Street
    3. Sportsman
    3a. Magic Rock
    3b. Slubbers
    4. Vulcan
    4a. Northern Taps
    4b. Warehouse
    5. Plumbers
    6. Grove
    7. Star
    8. Rat & Ratchet
    9. Head of Steam

    Then the additional walk is accommodated between the Sportsman and the Vulcan, with those that have done that extra bit then skipping straight to the Plumbers and the Grove.
