The opening of Larkins' Alehouse brings my 22nd new pub of the year, from 78 visits. A few more will acrue from a visit to God's own county later in the month,though we do tend to revisit old favourites.(Last year 28 from 87)

Eight in Brum today puts me on 152.

We don't gt out on crawls as much as we used to, but going out on coach trips with a local CAMRA group means we get out to counties we would not get to very often and see new pubs. Our count for this year is a modest 73, but on Saturday we are doing St Albans Tring and around which will visit pubs in Marsworth, Tring, Berkhamstead, Heronsgate, Croxley Green and 3 in St Albans.

Alcohol doesn't solve problems .... but then again, neither does milk.
3 new pubs in Newcastle and 4 more in Harrogate finally drag my sorry arse over the 100 mark!!!
Now on 103.
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Seven more in Surrey and Hampshire moves me on to 159.

Bit of a fallow year for new pubs - just 130 so far. All bar two in Stockport will be new ticks though, and there's a mega trip up to Lincolnshire planned for December. Aiming for 175 by year end...
Now on 319 with no new ones expected before November now. Ahead of one-per-day-on-average target with just 46 to do by the end of the year. I'll get over half of those with planned trips to Eastwood (Notts), Hoyland (Barnsley), Crewe, Burslem and Ilkeston; I've done most of the Stockport pubs that we're due to do next month, so need to find another 18 or so.
