Next PuG pub crawl(s)

[Aqualung]

They also lose their minds and lose themselves! I ended up (was woken up ) in Chester with an expensive taxi ride back to Wales.

But I did the crawl backwards, so I should have no trouble doing if forwards!

I read with joy how a pint of Jaipur was the second of the day and commend you. That's the sort of madness in my method.

I'm a bit wary of plus bus tickets, as there are usually restrictions on which buses you can use with them, and it always seems to be the bus that you want that's one of the exclusions! Do you know for sure that a train ticket to Wellington with plus bus will be valid on the bus to Oakengates? If so, that would be a good way of doing this section of the route.

Looks like plusbus Wellington is supported only by Arriva, perhaps they are the only local operator? The map shows the area covers Oakengates though.

With the talk of Oakengates being an almost mystical pub destination, I would lean toward more than a bare hour or so here...

ps. online purchase of plusbus down to £2 Jun+July...

The No.4 bus, Wellington to the Cock Hotel, then Cock Hotel to Oakengates (every 10 mins)
and No.7 bus, Wellington to the Cock Hotel only (every 15 mins) are both Arriva buses.

Should save half a pint and a bag of scratchings for two journeys

[Oggwyn Trench]

Arriva the only bus operator around here , apart from a few obscure routes .
£2 is a good price for the plus-bus , the Wellington - Oakengates fare probably over £3 now they have just whacked the prices up again

[ROBCamra]

Almost certainly can't make this now.

Ms CAMRA had to be rushed in for an emergency eye op due to a detached retina.

Everything went fine (hopefully) but she can't do a lot for herself at the moment due to lack of vision and needs drops in every 2 hours.

Have a good trip guys!

Hope she makes a good recovery.

I imagine you'll be giving up booze for the duration - need a steady hand for those eye-drops!

Send Ms C my best wishes, I expect red wine will help

[Mobyduck]

Yes all the best to Mrs C and hope for a quick recovery.

I too now have to dip out of this trip, , however every cloud has a silver lining, I'll be on holiday 10 days after so will be able to spend the money I save on some lovely cold fizzy Lager.
Have a good day out chaps and chapesses .

Sorry to hear this,best wishes for a swift recovery.Hope to catch up with you on the final crawl of 2017 which should be in The North somewhere.

[Bucking Fastard]

Very much looking forward to next Friday's crawl.

As far as I can see reading back through this thread the roll call seems to be

Oggwyn Trench
Quinno
sheffield hatter
Real Ale Ray
Mrs Ale
Bucking Fastard
Alan H
trainman

Apologies if I have missed anyone out ,are there any last minute additions ? Shame Mobyduck and ROBCamra are unable to join us.

I will be arriving in Shrewsbury at 11.19 to tick off a few pubs close to the station before catching either the 12.33 or 12.47 to Wellington,so I will catch up with the crawl in The Pheasant,assuming the route on post 151 has not changed.
