My advice? Don't do it 🤣

Did you see Phil's post? As a bar crawl it's a fantastic concept which would be great fun if it had 30% fewer stops. By bar 20 most of us had tired of constantly moving and just wanted to grab a beer and have a chat. Halves were a necessity, even in my full-on drinking days there was zero chance of getting through 27 pints in a day!

I've done a couple of those (on stag do's many years ago) one where we overlaid the Silverstone map over central london and marked pubs all round, once trying to do monopoly board and once the circle line.

Yeah, good fun for the first 10 or so (we also did halves - chosen by the round buyer, then timed, with the slowest having to do an extra shot), then it becomes a bit of a chore and you just can't be arsed getting back on the tube.

I don't think we managed more than about 15-20 pubs before we dug in and stayed put.

Yep… :lol:

I know you speak later on but there’s a scene early in the post where you flash by and I said… Hang on, I recognise him!! :lol:

I’ve done the circuit of Trinity College in Dublin which was 14 pubs. Had a pint in each but spread them out over a near full day…

Always meant to do the clockwork orange pub crawl before I quit drinking, one to keep on the list for my last big downward spiral :lol:

Did the royal Mile pub crawl once. Something like 14 pubs in a mile.
An absolute unit
