Autumn 2018 pub crawl Manchester Friday 12th October

[AlanH]

For me these tram systems are a great thing. I think I've used them all now, Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield and Dublin.

Blackpool!

I was surprised to find that Greater Manchester is one of my top review counties but I only know the odd pocket. Despite my connections with Wales I don't have the faintest idea where Ramsbottom is!

I lived in Ramsbottom for two years near to the GBG listed Major. It's a good little drinking town which is a 20 minute bus ride from Bury tram Station (or a steam train ride from Bury [Bolton Steet Station]).

I spent my first 40 drinking years in Manchester. Visited twice this year to the (mainly) new licence GBG bars and pubs around the Deansgate area which I thought to be very good.

As Chesterfield is in the Midlands, if we just remove the "field"!

Chester has been asking a few times.

Chesterfield is further north than Chester!

[AlanH]

Chesterfield is further north than Chester!

Ah, but Chester is in the "Northern" county of Cheshire, whilst Chesterfield is in the "Midland" county of Derbyshire.

Between Chester Cathedral and The Crooked Spire the actual distance of Chesterfield is <1 mile more North....

Dammit! I always thought Cheshire was in the Midlands.

North Midlands no doubt

[sheffield hatter]

I have my doubts about SOUTH Yorkshire

Would Sheffield qualify if considered as part of the West Riding instead?

I've finally succeeded in getting you all talking about geography. Conrad would be thrilled!

Ah the curse of thread drift.

Well we've just about got the runners and riders (need to decide if it's Chester or Chesterfield that goes into the mix as we now have 11 northish destinations) so all that remains is to run the poll. It looks like we've got the date too.

...need to decide if it's Chester or Chesterfield that goes into the mix as we now have 11 northish destinations.

Chester was in the March 2016 poll and scored five votes.

And after you condemned Chesterfield earlier in the thread, would anyone vote for it (even if it wasn't in the Midlands)?
