Sorry, can't now do this one.

That's a shame.

I am 12.27 arrival and 19.49 depart


I’ve been having my usual play at timed running lists and although I’ve converted my excel sheets into word the.docx files wont load on here so I’ll try to summarise.

Due to the 3PM openings I’m struggling to get Wills suggestion to work within timings as you have to add a wild card at the expense of one later on, so I too would probably still prefer to knock off the couple of central GBG listings first before heading off to the Rose and Crown.

Anyway, here’s a couple of options, see what you think

Option 1
Chesterfield Arms 12.00 to 12.55
Rose and Crown 13.30 to 14.15
Wild Card 14.20 to 14.55
Real Ale Corner 15.00 to 15.40
The Anchor 15.45 to 16.30
Bramption Bier House 16.35 to 17.10
Chesterfield Ale House 17.20 to 18.00
The Rutland Arms 18.10 to 18.55
Pig and Pump 19.00 to 19.45
6 minutes to station

Option 2
Pig and Pump 12.00 to 12.50
The Rutland Arms 12.55 to 13.35
The Market 13.40 to 14.10 Either a bus from New Beetwell Street (Stop B11) to Walton Road End stop, or jump in a cab to the pub
Rose and Crown 14.30 to 15.15
Real Ale Corner 15.20 to 15.55
The Anchor 16.00 to 16.40
Chesterfield Ale House 17.00 to 17.35
Chesterfield Arms 17.45 to 18.30
Neptune Beer Emporium 18.35 to 19.15
15 mins to station

Option 2 does sacrifice the Brampton Bier House for the Neptune Beer Emporium, but we could add it back in at the expense of The Market for example.

Anyway, please take a look and see what people prefer.

p.s. Google has The Anchor opening at 4.00PM on a Friday. Can anyone confirm for definite that it is 3.00PM?

[Gann]

Also as it looks like I am arriving later than anyone else I am happy if its decided to shorten the timings for the first pub and I will meet you in the second one or do a fly by visit..

The pub's Facebook also has 4pm as their opening time on all five weekdays. I sent them a message, asking if they could possibly open half an hour earlier for us, but when I pressed "send" I got an automated response with a list of opening times that were generally 12 noon every day bar one. This doesn't seem very likely, so I sent another message asking them to answer my earlier enquiry. I'll get back to you...

My personal preference would be for Option 2 as this would make meeting up easier at the start,and would mean not missing out on the Neptune Beer Emporium,which is another 4pm opener.I dont have a preference between The Market and the Brampton Bier House.

For what it's worth an Uber would take 6 minutes from the Market to the Rose & Crown with a 6 seater costing around £15.

I've just phoned the Anchor who said they open at 4pm on a Friday ,hope that helps.

[sheffield hatter]

...so I sent another message asking them to answer my earlier enquiry. I'll get back to you...

Just heard from the Anchor and they're going to open at 3:30pm on Friday 7th November for us!

I agree with Nev that Option 2, but would propose a couple of tweaks now that we know about the Anchor.

Pig and Pump 12.00 to 12.50
The Rutland Arms 12.55 to 13.35
The Market 13.40 to 14.10 Either a bus from New Beetwell Street (Stop B11) to Walton Road End stop, or jump in a cab to the pub
Rose and Crown 14.30 to 15.15
Real Ale Corner 15.20 to 15.55
The Anchor 16.00 to 16.40
Chesterfield Ale House 17.00 to 17.35
Chesterfield Arms 17.45 to 18.30
Neptune Beer Emporium 18.35 to 19.15

My suggestion is to leave the Pig & Pump to later and make the Rutland Arms the first stop, with a bit of flexibility about the first two pubs and which bus to get, depending how many of the pubs in Brampton people want to do:
Rutland Arms 12:00 to 12:30
Market 12:40 to 13:10
Walk to New Beetwell Street (Stop B11) for bus 90A at 13:19 to Brampton, arriving 13:26.
Anyone wanting to stay longer in either of the first two pubs can order a taxi to Brampton. Or wait for the next buses: 170 at 13:34, or 48 at 13:37 or 90 at 13:49, arriving six or seven minutes later.
Rose & Crown 13:30 to 14:10
Choice of pubs in Brampton: Britannia, Victoria or Original Gravity 14:15 to 14:55
Real Ale Corner 15:00 to 15:25
Anchor 15:30 to 16:05
Brampton Bierhuis 16:10 to 16:40 (alternative/additional Tramway nearby)
Chesterfield Ale House 16:50 to 17:20
Chesterfield Arms 17:30 to 18:05
Neptune 18:10 to 18:50
Bus 10 (opposite Chesterfield Arms) at 18:56 to town centre, or walk 12 minutes.
Pig & Pump 19:00 to train time.

Thanks Will, this looks like a good suggestion
Update from my side is that I have managed to change my train to one an hour earlier so can make a 12.00 pm start in the first pub.
I will plug your suggestion into my excel spreadsheet sheet and check the timings later on today or tomorrow morning
