I am currently looking at possible pub suggestions for the crawl, I fully expect it to be a Friday as it normally is once the date is chosen and it's so much more difficult to put together a fluid route on a Friday opposed to a Saturday given a good few late openers, 3, 4 and 5 0 clock as against all noon bar one on a Saturday, however I shall persevere and put up a suggested list later next week sometime.![]()

https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/crawl/v....php?crawl=728 as a first suggestion - though it's back-to-front (start at Kings Head, finish at Hettie's). Plenty of pit stops for those who want to go off-piste. Caveat - I haven't looked at opening times.
'Beer is for all day, not just for breakfast'.
And here's my thoughts, (assuming a Friday) https://camra.org.uk/trips/85033ce4-...8-c87c633e590b
I've gone for variety in pubs and beer where possible, bit of leg work for the middle pubs.
Meet up at
12.00- 12.45 The Duke Of York, GBG, extra 15 mins to await late comers and also helps with later timings.
12.50 - 1.20 Deacons
1.25 - 1.55 Market Inn
2.00 - 2.30 Haunch Of Venison, GBG
2.35 - 3.05 Sips(2.00 opener), Craft keg only but allegedly some Real/Live beer, then 15 min walk approx
3.20 - 4.00 Wyndham Arms, GBG, then 10 min walk (edit - more of a 5 min walk really)
4.10 - 4.40 Winchester Gate, GBG, (4.00 opener) another 10 min Walk
4.50 - 5.20 Railway Inn/Dust Hole, (3.00 opener) one more 10 min Jaunt
5.30 - 6.00 Rai d'Or GBG (5.00 opener)
6.00 - 6.30 Bell & Crown
6.35 - 7.05 New Inn The Train Station is roughly a 15 minute walk from here.
As Ian mentions in the previous post there's plenty of other pubs (including the Spoons) along the way and nearby .

So the trip to Salisbury is next Friday, who's actually going?
Bucking Fastard,*
Steele Breeze (Ian)
Mobyduck,*
rpadam,*
Stevie Boy,*
Strongers,*
Tris39*
Sheffield Hatter
Gann (possible verging on likely)
Dave M (Hopefully)
ETA
John
(updating list as it becomes clear)
The six marked* above all voted on the particular date, all still planning to attend?
Richard confirmed yesterday he was Big Steve should be along and I believe Will has his tickets sorted. Is there anyone above who now cannot attend and likewise any others who now can?
Finally my pub suggestions are above as is Ian's, nothing is set in stone but Can we agree a starting point.

My train arrives at 12:20. If I haven't arrived at the first pub when people want to move on, I'll be happy to catch up with you at the next one.
...and my return train is at 18:26.

Come On You Hatters!
I am planning to be there, nothing booked yet but I'll probably arrive around 11:30 and head to spoons for a breakfast
I just quickly put this route into the new crawl tool https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pub-cra...6eee8611/view/
