I have been looking into this a bit more and trying to put a crawl together and now fully appreciate why the Norwich City of Ale organisation divides the city up into 7 Real Ale Trails. Yes the City has some heavyweight pubs, but a lot are spread in the outskirts and miles from each other, and no way to do all in a day unless you have a designated driver or a jet pack.
Now taking Quinno's advice that you cannot go to Norwich and not go to the Fat Cat (handily one of the destination pubs furthest away on the other side of the city to the train station), my cunning plan would be to bus it out here early and then have a more leisurely stroll back to the train station.
Therefore my proposal would be meet in the City Centre and, for nothing more than my personal historical connections, i propose
The Murderers.
Then stop BG on Rampant Horse Street is just around the corner and busses 21, 23 or 24 will take us to stop ID on Adelaide Street.
Its a short walk to the
The Alexandra Tavern from here and then 5 minutes back across the road to
The Fat Cat.
Afterwards I have plotted a route across the north of the city back to the train station and, after the initial 15 minute walk to
The White Lion, every other pub is under a ten minute walk.
Kings Head
The Plasterers Arms
The Leopard
Adam & Eve
The Red Lion on Bishopsgate
Coach & Horses
and then 5 minutes back to the station.
I appreciate most of these have already been visited by those that have been to Norwich but this northerly route does afford plenty of Wild Card options as well for those that dont want to visit these again.
If people think this is a dooable proposal then I'll work out the route and also to squeeze a couple more in as this is currently 10 pubs..
