Half way through the year, and now on 110. The next month will be a bit slower though, I suspect, with the Somerset Ale Trail getting in the way. It's a good excuse to revisit good pubs, but a very expensive way to get a new T-shirt.

A reasonable 22 in June included a good sort out of Ashington, which was quite out of date and had more pubs than expected although mostly evenings/weekends only so limited reviews. This takes me to 124 for the first half of the year.
On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
Did 45 new venues in June helped enormously by a couple of evenings in the Vale of Glamorgan in Cowbridge and Llantwit Major post codes areas bringing me to 265 new venues for the first half of the year. Did a lot of revisits for reviews including Douglas Isle of Man when over for TT that added only a single new venue to complete the set of venues there, plus just some new venues in largely Central London that have popped up over recent months. Hoping to get a few visits over to non-central W postcodes second half of July.
8 new ticks for me in June in various locations takes my half year total up to 101,on track.
July boating has added quite a few new 'uns ,and what with the Lancaster crawl and some possible surburban London explorations it could be a bumper month.

July was a bumper month,19 pubs in Lancaster over two days,plus some boating new ticks resulted in 30 new pub visits taking the year to date total to 131.
August looking quieter,maybe some suburban London pubs need exploration,plus a day out in Exeter to keep the momentum.
