Geocaches - 10
Walk Inspiration
Pub - Kings and Queen, Wendover
Previous Stages - Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4
Today was meant to be the Bermondsey Beer Mile. For reasons that I cannot spell, I wouldn't have been a completer.
STATEMENT ON COVID-19 & FOURPUREWe want to update you on the impact of the health pandemic and how it will affect our people & our venue. Unfortunately from today we will also be closing our taproom for the immediate future. See blog for more details. https://t.co/iUJAcqi3d1— Fourpure Brewing Co. (@fourpurebrewing) March 14, 2020
Instead, I'll use the opportunity to walk the 5th Stage of the Chiltern Chain walk and get a Tick from the Good Beer Guide that may well be the last for a while. Who would have thought #CloseThePubs would be a thing?
Today's ramble starts at Wigginton, visited briefly on the last leg. A free car park at the village swings far more appealing than the official start at Wendover Woods visitor centre, where the car parking is eye watering.
Most of the kids here were called Hugo, so I guess they can afford it |

Enough of the history and into Wendover for refreshment. A toss up between the Good Beer Guide entries of the King and Queen or the Pack Horse.

Through that front portal, you have a choice of going left to the bar or right to the bar/restaurant. You'd be hard pushed to tell which one I chose from the this picture postcard perfect view of a comfortable drinking area.

Turns out he had drank 15 pints a day for four days and isn't very well.
Panic over for now.
If this is going to be the last pub blog for a time - the Irish Public are demanding a closure to all pubs and the UK cannot be far behind - then I go out for now with a magnificent Timothy Taylor Landlord.
See you on the other side.

I haven't commented here for a long time but I'm glad to read that you seem to be taking C seriously in contrast to some others I have come across. I will be restricting myself to circular walk from the car starting in the middle of nowhere
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you. Yep, day by day its looking worse. Had plenty of things booked up over the coming weeks but will replan accordingly.
