Likewise, havent been to Gloucester for a long time either. Looks like there might be enough there to sustain a day, but will bow to others with personal experience

I'll throw in Lewes, although maybe to deep south for a good attendance but some good pubs and it's not all Harveys. Won't get me many ticks though.

Looking at BF's excellent A Brief History of PuG Crawls it appears Bath was tackled in Feb 2011, which doesn't necessarily prelude it from a revisit. I was going to throw Southampton into the ring, as I couldn't see it on BF's list, but as per Moby, appreciate this is as south as it gets.Originally Posted by Gann
How about Bury St Edmunds ?
Only Joking...
Have we ever done Bath on an official PuG crawl ? Havent personally been there in a while..

Bath should certainly be on the list,the 2011 crawl was quite small and eclectic.
Southampton is a decent shout,I visited briefly two years ago but didn't go to many pubs.There seemed a lot of walking involved to create a crawl,but I'm sure other know this territory better than me and can advise.

Bath would be pretty good for me if it is a Friday, I can invoke contractor hours and bunk off early and be there within an hour.
I know it very well now, so I can be picky about where I decide to tope...seen it all before!
The better pubs are extremely well spread. With a fair bit of dross imbetween.

And most are a long trudge from the station
I agree that Southampton is too thinly spread - really needs a fair bit of bus travel which gets impractical for a group. Bath and Exeter I have done a fair amount of but wouldn't rule out. Lewes I love but it might be a bit small. Gloucester I don't know and would support. There are a few areas of Greater London that could be done, but that can get a bit pricey. Stretching 'South' a bit, how about Cardiff?
On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
Seconded. A few gems, but a lot of walking

Of those mentioned, Cambridge is the most doable from the north(east).
