Autumn/Winter PuG Crawl 2016 ?

[sheffield hatter]

Magic Rock Tap opens at 3pm very off piste but could be linked with
Slubbers Arms (the famous Taylors house)

Magic Rock Tap appears to be about 10 minutes walk from the Sportsman, and I for one would not find that off-putting, especially as the Slubbers Arms is only a short stroll further on. Then back into town for the Vulcan (13 minutes) or there are bus alternatives for those who prefer not to walk (and it may, of course, be snowing).

Looks promising, OB.

I was thinking the distance from the Slubbers to the Star may be a tadge long for a comfortable day, hence off piste. I suppose the order could be swapped round to accommodate MR and the Slubbers ending up at the HOS as is traditional for Huddersfield crawls.

The Star might also be considered "off piste", as it's 16 minutes walk from there to the Head of Steam.

18th November would be the best day for me too...

Very happy with Nov 18th,

Very happy with Nov 18th,

I've been keeping quiet on the grounds that I am almost completely wiped out for weekends in November this year so couldn't really add value to the date discussion as I probably couldn't make it anyway..

In fact the only date I could possibly do is the weekend of the 18th....

....Whoopie

Provisional booking now made for a hotel on the ring road by the canal for the 18th and 19th so that myself and Mrs G can make a weekend of it..
Mrs G googled Huddersfield and found it acceptable as apparently it has a fair few boutique and vintage shops, whatever they are ?

It's usually done after the Rat, then it's not so far ....or dry

The problem is that the Magic Rock and the Slubbers are to the north of the town centre, while the Star and the Rat are to the south. What about a couple of extras in the centre for those who don't want to do the excursion to the north (such as the Northern Taps )?

1. Kings Head
2. Wood Street
3. Sportsman
3a. Magic Rock
3b. Slubbers
4. Vulcan
4a. Northern Taps
4b. Warehouse
5. Plumbers
6. Grove
7. Star
8. Rat & Ratchet
9. Head of Steam

Then the additional walk is accommodated between the Sportsman and the Vulcan, with those that have done that extra bit then skipping straight to the Plumbers and the Grove.

coupled with the fact that the Magic Rock opens at 3pm
