Poll for date of York crawl in June or July 2025.

[ROBCamra]

We've done York to death over the years, so may not bother with this one unless a cheap hotel or two come up in the meantime.

... how do they define "large groups"?

Trust me, they'll know one when they see it!

[Pangolin]

Ok, someone has to start somewhere so here is a first stab at a loop round the city. I have left off 'try also' candidates en route as there are just too many although they could be added later, also omitted some decent ones that are too far out of the way or just too small.

York Tap
Trembling Madness Lendal
Three Legged Mare
Snickleway
Last Drop
Market Cat
Hop (with individual excursions to Blue Bell, as can't be done in a group)
Red Lion
Brew York
Phoenix
Slip
Swan
Golden Ball
Ackhorne
York Tap

15 pubs? Some of us are not as young as they were.

Good effort.The only late opener on a Friday is the Golden Bell (4pm) so it makes sense to leave that to later in the day as per your route..

14 unless there are two York Taps. Still a lot though...

If I do go, not sure yet as a bit close to my planned Holiday, it'll be a stop over , so easy.

OK, a few tweaks to make it more group-friendly and lose a couple. If still too many the next candidates for dropping are possibly the Market Cat, the Slip and the Swan as slightly off route and most will have done them anyway.

That looks like a good core list for the crawl.

[Bucking Fastard]

With a little over a week until this York crawl,I thought it worthwhile to do a roll call.Several potential attendees were unsure if they could make it.Please accept my apologies if I have missed anyone out,I will adjust the list as replies are posted.
