Pubsgalore Salisbury crawl 27th March 2026

[Bucking Fastard]

In these dog days of January maybe it's time to consider the next crawl after a very good run in 2025.

Looking back at the 2025 polls some interesting places just missed out.

NORTH -- Newcastle and Lancaster

MIDLANDS -- Newark

SOUTH -- Plymouth and Salisbury

Is there any consensus amongst those ? For the first crawl in 2026 the North/Midlands/South decision is not crucial ,but a Southern crawl in June/July often proves too hot for real ale quality.

Agree that the south can be a bit hot in summer and we've just done the Midlands, so perhaps a southern crawl, given the weather? Not sure about Plymouth and it's a very long way, but Salisbury sounds like a good suggestion.

Yes I'd go with Salisbury, some nice pubs and the beer scene has picked up a bit over the last two or three years.

[ETA]

Salisbury would work well for me, date depending. As long as I remember to get the train back to Somerset, of course.

On a purely personal basis I would much prefer Plymouth, having done Salisbury to death over the years. There is certainly some good drinking there though.

I'm happy with both although Plymouth for me would be virgin territory.

...done Salisbury to death over the years.

An unfortunate turn of phrase given past events.

...Plymouth for me would be virgin territory.

I went there once; I wish I were still a virgin, but that's the effect of the Plymouth Hoe.

[Quinno]

No opinion - I've done both extensively over the last few years

Not too many replies but with no objections and a general consensus on Salisbury lets go for it.

I will post up a poll for dates on Saturdays and Sundays in March and April excluding Easter unless there are any other thoughts.

Agreed. I'm actually on my way there now.
