I've read quite a number of the reviews, in fact probably all of them in Berwick! Well done - boldly going where Al 10000 had not been. I was sad to see that the Barrels, formerly Berwick's liveliest pub and with usually very good beer and banter, was a bit of a let down. It seems the excellence of the Curfew just along the street has been dragging their former customers away.

Feck! Good going...
On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
A new opening in The Dale limps me up to 51.
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
November did indeed prove to be a good month,so the year to date total has moved into three figures and stands at 109.Objective met !
Boating activity will drop off in December while waiting for some internal woodworking in early January.Although there will be a lot of pub visits in December,most will be well worn destinations so the final total for 2021 won't move much.

After 25 in September and 21 in October, November turned out to be a bumper month with 31 new pubs for me. Total now standing at 104. Trips to Putney, Macclesfield, Nottingham and Stafford formed the bulk of the total. A few plans for December but mostly fairly short, local trips of about four or five pubs, so 125 is not an unreasonable expectation.
Come On You Hatters!
November was very slack for me regarding new pubs only managing 6 due to other commitments, currently sat on 85, may still try to make the century by the end of the year.
