Summer 2020 crawl - possible venues

[Real Ale Ray]

Winchester is on my 'to do' list, so I'd be happy with that

[sheffield hatter]

Describing either Lincoln or Cardiff as 'the south' is a bit of a stretch - I'd be very happy with Winchester.

Lincoln was a joke, Tris. As OB and MD spotted!

Cardiff is in South Wales, which is good enough for me.

I've done a few in Winchester, but there are plenty more to do so that's OK with me (although I could also say the same about Cardiff / Caerdydd…).

[Aqualung]

I'm not sure Caerdydd is all that, though I'd be happy to be proved wrong. I've not really done anything in Winchester, so that would get my vote.

How about Lincoln?

Cardiff is much improved since the "just Brains" days although IMO there are three Brains pubs worth including. When I went to Winchester last I only really liked the JDW and the Flowerpot one near the station.

Helston anyone? (it's in the South).

I always used to enjoy going to Salisbury, is there a previous poll somewhere?

Both south of where I live, I don't mind Winchester either.

Interesting place, but I could get to Marseille or Frankfurt quicker by public transport!

Here are some figures:-

London 51.5074° N
Reading 51.4543° N
Cardiff 51.4816° N

I assume the London figure is Charing Cross but it shows that London is actually slightly North of Cardiff.

I can get to Scotland quicker and there's more trains!!

Hehe. Nice one Aqualung!

https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/areas/helston-town/cornwall/...with[/url] eight pubs? And no railway station?

If I leave home at 6am on a Friday, I can get to Helston by bus, train, train and bus, arriving at 15:23. Luckily there's a bus that leaves at 15:44 that will get me by train to Birmingham and Nottingham, from where a coach leaves for Sheffield arriving at 1:55, so I should be home before 2:30 Saturday morning. My idea of a good day out. (Especially with no football match to spoil it.)

It was a joke, wasn't it? Please tell me you didn't really mean Helston! (Just want to be clear before someone adds it to a poll.)
