31/05/21 - Fox and Hounds, Lulsley

Distance - 3.5 Miles

Geocaches - 17

Good Beer Guide Tick - #552

A case of "what to do" on a Bank Holiday Monday.  It could have been a walk to Bewdley to get the two new ticks - a Tap Room and a non-woke pub that will no doubt be under pressure to change its name.

The thought of battling the tourists hoardes for a space proved too much.

Geocaching in the Worcestershire Wilds its is.

Buttercup Geocaching

But that's not nearly enough booze related fun, even when you are walking through the Bulmers Orchards at Woodhouse Farm.

Where Cider comes from

Learning from previous mistakes - I have checked the Good Beer Guide Bible and found that the Fox and Hounds in Lulsley is previously unrecorded.  Their website is also checked and although it's normally closed on Mons and Tues - there is dispensation on Bank Holidays.

Pubs in the Sunshine

We are there at the scrape of the bolt and although I was quite prepared, I wasn't prepared enough to have actually booked a table.  We can be squeezed in to the extensive garden - provided we vacate in two hours.

City rules - even when a reasonable percentage of punters will be turning up on horseback.

Choice of two beers and my hearing is getting as bad as my eyesight.  I have to delete my Untappd checkin on Ludlow Gold for this is a first ever Ledbury Gold.

Gold from Ledbury, not Ludlow

It was OK but if I was rushing to get to Ledbury, it would be for the Prince of Wales.

Good food, efficient service and great to see the place filling up - justifying their decision to open under special circumstances.
