That was a close one - I couldn't have made the 29th!!
On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
Sadly the other way round for me.. I will be enjoying the pub delights of Llangollen that week...

The handbrake is overseas with work so I can't make this one either.

Indeed.
At least you're on the coast.
Ok, with the summer crawl looming on the horizon I've been having a look at the possible candidates and route, still trying to figure out the timings as there are some unhelpful opening hours involved combined with the best pubs are complete compass points apart and involve a bit of walking, anyway heres a list of pubs in a possible running order for starters, anyone please feel free to chip in with other suggestions or ideas.
Old Gaolhouse (Spoons) for early arrivals
Overdraft (craft keg only)
Westgate
Fulflood Arms*
St James Tavern
Old Vine
Eclipse
Wykeham Arms*
Black Boy* (opening Times 12.00-2.30 - 5.00-11.00)
Alfies (opens 6.00)
Hyde Tavern * (opens 6.00)
The Albion*
I've starred the pubs I feel are must do's.
I've omitted The Queen Inn as It is yet another walk but I guess its do-able for those that fancy it.
Also another wild card is The King Alfred close to The Hyde Tavern but time may be running short by then except for anyone staying over.
I shall try and fine tune some timings over the next couple of days as I'm aware some may want to be on their way home by 7.00

The Albion used to be an early opener but alas no more, else I'd have suggested that one as the start point.
That looks like a fair route to me.
If Alfie's and Hyde both open at 6, I know which one I'll be doing...
I only put Alfies in to break up the walk from the BB to the Hyde, I agree with you but its there to do If anyone wants.
