Dropped a bollock with my choice of ale house post-run; went for the Bridge Inn, but the choice of beer was bleak with it being out of season. Had to settle for a Theakston's. The Crown at Middlesmoor should have been my choice, but it's often hard to get in by the fire because of all the keepers/shoots that go in...and when you've got a wet arse that needs a drying out you need a fire.
