Finished up on 316 for the year - a bit down on target but pretty good given my problems in the spring. It looks like I shall lose my southern base shortly so more emphasis on the north (and possibly Scotland) this year.

On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
259 for me, which is my biggest tally since 2016 when I did one more, finishing on 260.
Didn't expect 2024 to be a strong year, but a few things combined to make it quite productive, including a short break in Lancashire/Cheshire in January that bagged me 54 pubs in less than a week, and efforts to watch more non league football that's taken me to some mid sized towns that I'd otherwise never have made it to.
2025 might be a bit slower though, as I should be moving house next month, so there's bound to be a drop off to sort all of that out.
I feel your pain! The whole house move thing has been a nightmare from start to finish and pretty much took over my life last year. We have now exchanged contracts and I am moving this month.Originally Posted by Pubsignman

I have (finally!) just reviewed the last few pubs of 2024 - a combination of a house move and two emergency contracts coming in which have eaten-up a lot of time.
If my spreadsheet is to be believed then I did 544 new ones which is a new record, beating 2014's tally of 507.
Aided, in no short measure, by the rail priv cards I had at my disposal (now sadly unavailable) and the wife working every single Saturday (now sadly unavailable)
