Venue for Spring 2025 PuG crawl.

Yes we're supposed to be taking about spring in the South.

Oops! My bad.


Isn't Peterborough midlands?

I read an interesting blog about Peterborough recently:

https://micropubadventures.co.uk/202...-peterborough/

I suppose that might be classed as Midlands though it's level with Norwich?

I think that the midlands/east of England is defined by county not latitude.

As is Birmingham, firmly Midlands.

Certainly is. Norwich is in the east of England.

Norwich is in the east of England.

But we always define our pub crawl areas by north, midlands and south. So this means we will never do Scotland, Wales, East Anglia or the South West. I understand why this is - we're all fairly randomly placed around the UK, so the chance of a reasonable nucleus of people meeting up in Plymouth is going to be fairly slim.

No southern destination has been proposed this time. Peterborough seemed like a reasonable destination, and Newark is in a similar area with good connections. Do we have to be hidebound by orthodoxy? (I may have had a beer or two - please forgive loquaciousness.)

[ETA]

I thought we were avoiding summer crawls in the south. Or is Cardiff in the Midlands for climate purposes? ������

Cardiff is actually a different country.

Mid-East ?

In which case I propose Lewes , Salisbury, Bath and maybe a return to Reading, that said Peterborough sounds tempting.

Leaving aside arguments about Peterborough's location (historically in Northamptonshire so definitely Midlands rather than South if excluding East as a region!), I agree that going towards the West would be a good idea, not least since we did both Cambridge and Lincoln last year. We haven't done Bath since 2011 or Reading since 2013 and I don't think we have ever done Bristol.

I don't think we have ever done Bristol.

14 November 2014 I think?

Oops - missed that!

Yes, and yes (because we haven't done them before) and maybe and maybe (as we have...).

that said Peterborough sounds tempting.

Steve Dunkley over at Camra Discourse is thinking about arranging something there, so I'm keeping an eye on that.
