A most enjoyable day and great to meet so many of you. Look forward to the next one.
On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
Nice to meet you. Till next time.Originally Posted by Pangolin

That was an amazing pub crawl,and also very good to meet Pangolin in person ,one of the first members of PuG and now a prolific contributor.Great to see everybody else too,wonderful company all day.
Many thanks to ROBCamra and Ms CAMRA for skillfully herding the crawlers around so many interesting and varied venues.Great mix of impressive traditional pubs together with some more modern bars and virtually every ale I sampled was terrific.ROBCamra also managed to point out lots of interesting features ,quirks and history that I would certainly have missed on any other crawl visit to these pubs.
Looking forward already to the next outing ,which I guess will be either in The South or The Midlands * sometime next March.

Yes great day out yesterday, very enjoyable trip around some interesting pubs. Thanks to Rob & Mrs Camra for the tour. We're in Fred's Alehouse, Levenshulme now, and there's a mini beer fest on, so will probably stay for quite some time!

Yes brilliant trip, just on train back now, had to revisit the firefly because I had no recollection whatsoever, took in the Gas Lamp while in the area, nice place.

Come On You Hatters!
What's the problem? It's so simple, the Midlands is the bit in between the North and the South.

It was nice to meet the main group in the City Arms which actually calmed down a bit after the group left but I was horrified to see the hordes of people drinking outside. If they all piled in after it started raining when I was in the Ape and Apple then it would have got completely mental. Despite being a cellar bar I made it to the Gas Lamp but it seemed I was there too late. The Brink was one cellar too far so I got a bus back to Piccadilly Station.
It was a lucky escape with the weather as Callum decided to wreak havoc over Wales rather than NW England.
I believe it's the Beautiful South next.
A few unprofessional pics.

The second picture nicely sums up the weather on the day.
I forgot to mention but I noticed that the Titanic outlet on Stoke Station is now open. It's on the up (Southbound) platform so will come in very handy for Stoke visits where just about everywhere is a bus ride or a fair walk away. It's called BOD.
