Start packing your bucket and spade for tuesday!!!

[Alty Dave]

Is that to build a castle so they cannot score?

[baldrick]

4 - 1 final score

[Mrs Warbouys]

We're booked in the acorn aswell baldrick, I see its only 5 mins from the train station,which is nice!

[thegazelle]

10 mins thats a taxi where i come from.
95%certain i'll be there at new street to get the same train just have to cancel an appointment for weds

its got all the makings of a shock win and a big drink

[baldrick]

My plan is to go straight to the Acorn, leave my bag there then work my way to the ground pub by pub. I will print out a walking route to take with me. If i get to Piccadilly in time i might have breakfast in the Wetherspoons.

[thegazelle]

your in my taxi baldrick i can do two minute walks as long as theres a pub at the end of the two minutes

[baldrick]

Seaside towns always have plenty of pubs so there should be no need to walk more than two minutes without a rest.

[Mrs Warbouys]

The best pub we found last time (when the game was called off the other month) was what I think was described as  the oldest pub in devon or something lke that? . tucked away down a little side street,but just off the harbour/main presinct, a couple of minutes walk from the wetherspoons.Great place,we were in there for hours,low beams,horse brasses,proper beer,model ships on the cornice,pictuers of dogs palying snooker,great place.Landlady was from the wirral and a real traditional landlady,very friendly.I would be keen to visit this establishment once more!

[baldrick]

Apparently the oldest pub in Torquay is this one

Hole In The Wall
6 Park La
Torquay
Devon

[Mrs Warbouys]

Spot on mate, thats the place,we stumbled across it and ended up spending a good 3 or 4  hours in there,looking forward to going back in!!!

[thegazelle]

i think a revised agenda


railway station - Acorn Lodge - Hole in the Wall = 3.43 miles     =   50 minutes walk = time for four pints =   taxi
Hole in the Wall - Football Ground = 1.98 miles=   35 minutes walk =   time for two pints = taxi
Football Ground - Hole in the wall=1.98 miles   =    35 minutes walk =   time for two pints =   taxi
 Hole in the Wall or other pub nearby- Acorn Lodge = 1.57 miles  =   unable to walk    = taxi

good research though baldrick

another decision strongbow or katy for the train?

[baldrick]

I'm hoping to find genuine Devon scrumpy. The stuff that looks like cloudy orange juice with dead things floating in it.
