Following tonight's 7 mile Real Ale Thursday run from the Three Stags Heads in Wardlow Mires, a couple of refreshing pints of Intrepid Brewing's Navio and a half of Abbeydale Brewery's Black Lurcher 7.4%!
Finally got myself to The Boltmakers Arms In Keighley tonight. Great little pub, even better beer. A pint of Timothy Taylor Golden Best followed by a Ram Tam.
Following tonight's 7.5 mile Real Ale Thursday (RAT) Run from The Bulls Head, Monyash a oouple of pints of Blonde Bear from the Little Critters Brewing Company and, as it was Halloween, a pint Of Hobgoblin from the Wychwood Brewery. Nice!
After the Bronte Way - Fleece - possibly the best pint of Ram Tam I've had (even better it was free!)

The Globe, Glossop
Sirius - they brew their own beer which is OK but the food is fantastic!
The first snow of the winter fell during tonight's 7 mile RAT Run from The Anglers Rest in Millers Dale. Once back in the warmth of this cosy pub we enjoyed cheesy chips washed down with Bradfield Brewery's Farmers Blonde and Kelham Island's Easy Rider. Spot on!
A cool and breezy 8 mile RAT Run, this evening, from The Lathkil Hotel,Over Haddon was followed by cheesy chips washed down with very refreshing Riber Gold from the Matlock Wolds Farm brewery.
Am on the south coast. Beer very poor.
I'm not drinking Doom Bar Bitter
No don't like doom bar much either. If I'm in Cornwall I'll usually go for a Proper Job or Tribute.
After Really Wild Boar Fell Race I'm drinking anything in the house!
A cool,breezy and starlit night for tonight's 9 mile RATRun from The Waterloo Inn, Biggin where thirsts were quenched with very refreshing Moorhouse's Blonde Witch.
This weeks RATRun was a very windy 8 miles from The Grouse Inn,Froggatt during which we had a wonderful wildlife encounter with a herd of deer, their yellow eyes shining bright in the light from our headtorches. Back at the Grouse, a chip buttie was washed down with Marston's 61 Deep and Wainwright's The Golden Beer. Very nice.
Saltaire Beer Festival for me on Friday.
Sampling some of the country's finest ales.
I was there yesterday, enjoying the Wurlitzer. Stuck to the imperial stouts/porters, Bridgehouse Ten Years is amazing. Only one barrel there (only ten made in total I think) and I probably had the lot.
Not sure what’s on in me local this weekend.. one shall have a waddle there and a wobble back after!
Couple of pints of BG Sips from The Blue Monkey Brewery at my local this evening. Meals being served as normal.
Long may it continue
3 pints of McEwan's Champion
A bottle of Acorn Brewery Gorlovka Stout. Cracking.
Earlier this evening I took delivery of a 9 pint polybox of Caskade Ale from Whim Brewery, Hartington. £15 inc delivery. Four of us RATRunners took advantage of this offer and after mine stands for 24hrs in the garage it will be ready for rehydration purposes following tomorrows RATRun.
This evening I took delivery of my latest Polybox of Caskade from Whim Ales. Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm not sure which yet, they have run out of 9 pint containers so I have had to have an 18 pinter! Hopefully it should last a couple of weeks! £30 inc delivery. Can't go wrong.
Had a lovely pub in a box from Purity brewery arrive today. Birthday present from daughter #1. 9 bottles of various ales, crisps and glasses. A lovely present and glad to be supping ale to boost the local economy.
May have missed earlier discussions of this, but I got one of those Krups Torp machines a year or so ago back. Not real ale, but a decent selection of continental lagers to be had, well worth it. Currently got a fridge full of Leffe - blondes, browns & rubies.
Alright Soft Lad, still running?
'Ow do Mr B! Finding my way back to it, yes. Few years away due to work commitments leaving me no time/too tired, only really managing to get out once or twice a week but have been picking it back up again since COVID first hit and feel like my fitness is getting back to where it was 10 years ago.
Not hill fitness though! Move over to flat Preston has killed that for me, with little time to travel. However, a move to Chipping is on the cards and I've been familiarising myself with Parlick & Fair Snape, so who knows?
That's also what prompted me bobbing back here, as it happens...what'd I miss?
You missed quite a bit. A guy called Always Injured caused quite a kerfuffle, Stagger has been banned, Amex hasn't been seen for ages, a lot of the characters have stopped posting, Facebook has cut a swathe through us in general, Millipede is hanging on in there, Stolly must have been mad at himself and changed his name to Fellbeast, Brett went mental with us all one night and made Noel and Stolly moderators, i've discovered a new fell shoe and sadly Danbert Nocurry is no longer with us.
�� Wow. At any point did we conclude which was the best headtorch or bumbag?
No, but a buff is officially a hat.
And a pair of "must have" trainers now cost £170....
Can we expect a report on the Royal Oak Inn Beer Festival which takes place this weekend Moley?
I'm at the Brewers Fayre in Grimsby and I've made a terrible discovery. Wainwright ale is not brewed by Thwaites any more, the brand has been bought by Carlsberg! A bottle of pigswill anyone?
A pal of mine cycled 96 miles to Grimsby last weekend for some fish and chips. He also made a terrible discovery.Quote:

I can't see why anyone would want to cycle 96m to here. I'm here because i need recertifying as someone who is safe to work on hazardous area equipment, but i'm going to suggest in my course evaluation that they set up a training centre in the Lake District, because it's grim in Grimsby. I went for a 2m walk earlier; i saw 2 chemical plants, a disused power station, two waste sorting sites and a rather interesting disused railway track including a signal box.Quote:

Sounds like the ideal location for verifying ability to work on hazardous area equipment.Quote:
