Pub Crawls

[Al 10000]

Here are a few pub crawls that broke records for me.

Oldham 1 October 1983 11.30 start 3.00 finish 22 pubs

Sheffield 1 October 1983 6.00 start 9.00 finish 10 pubs

32 pubs in one day with a mate.

Edinburgh 29 July 1987 2.00 in afternoon start to 5 August 1987 3.00 finish in afternoon.

160 pubs done in Edinburgh and 17 in Glasgow all done with my wife total 177.

Oxford to watch Forest 19-20 December 1987 34 pubs done left Oxford 2.30 Sunday afternoon all done with my wife.

I have done other large pub crawls but as most forum users like visiting pubs i wondered if there are any recorded large pub crawls from any forum users.

I have put this on has the forum seems a bit quiet at the moment Alan.

What exactly constitutes "doing" a pub during one of your crawls? I could "do" 34 pubs in a lunchtime if all I bought was a packet of crisps and ate them on the way to the next one! If it's a half in each one that's not bad. If it's a pint in each one I am surprised you're still here to tell us.

34 packets of crisps in one lunchtime would be some intake but I suppose the walking between pubs would burn the calories off !

I am sure Alan did a post explaining that he drinks at least a half in each pub he visits, failing miserably to find that post with a search now though.

I think it was Hoppy that made that bold claim!

Yep, that was one that Hoppy claimed, it is also one that Fat Beer Badger from the other place also claims (having met him) and for both I think it is a full pint or they cant review the pub.

This one apparently amused AEM and Dave when they got served a rancid pint of Doom Bar on one of their crawls with FBB.

Edit: and I still think Alan also made the half pint claim on another thread.

It amused me all the more in that being a lightweight I'd opted for a coke in that particular pub.

Hi Conrad,

I have said at one time or another on this forum that for me to say and list a pub i have to drink at least a half pint of bitter.
I have had a look on my posts but car'nt find this at the moment.

[Farway]

Having read the thread so far I can only say that I am a real lightweight, in drinking terms that is, not mass unfortunately

I have a pint, then move on, but I really could not even crawl up Albert Road in Southsea, 9 or 13 pubs depending how you classify the start

Maybe if I had half in each it would be possible, but that would be a bit like "Getting off at Fratton" for me

I am in awe of Al

Ha ha ha. Glad to see the Billy Mill roundabout referenced on that link - that was the euphemism of choice for us in the north-east, being the last exit from the A1058 (coast road) before reaching the seaside. Every area of the country has its own.
