    Default 2019 AUTUMN PUG Crawl

    I'll soon be booking advance tickets for September so I'm starting this one off. There is a plethora of other places from previous discussions but I'm going for Loughborough and Stourbridge, both towns that have increased their credentials over the last couple of years.

    I think I'll be gone by 2919 !

    Well there's no argument it's the turn of the Midlands (depending on how defined ); the usual date is around the second/third Friday in November, which would be the 15th this year although last year it was October.

    The last poll for the Midlands was http://forums.pubsgalore.co.uk/showt...mer-2018-Crawl when Loughborough tied for second place with Newark, Lichfield and Norwich tied for third, Stourbridge was joint last along with Stamford and Bridgnorth. I've been to all those except Norwich and wouldn't be unhappy with any of them.

    Other towns I suppose we might consider would be Northampton, Kettering(!), Grantham, Cambridge even Peterborough?

    Here we go again!

    Shurley Cambridge is in the South. Much further South than last years "border" town Peterborough!

    Hasn't Cambridge been considered for the South? I would call it South as it's in Southern Cambs.

    Mrs Ale here - having been to Grantham quite a few years ago, it's not somewhere I'd rush back to, the Spoons was about the best pub there - maybe it's changed since then! Thought Northampton was excellent with a good variety of decent pubs, didn't find it that expensive though...

    Yes, and not even East Midlands. It's a bugger to get to unless you've got a very good reason.

    But Hereford is south of Cambridge and it's definitely in the Midlands. Hmmm...
