Distance - 4 Miles
Geocaches - 15 Adventure Lab Caches
Pubs - 4 in total, New Good Beer Guide Ticks #594 and #595
Plymouth is an awful long way to go to scratch a 3 year live comedy itch. Might as well make a weekend of it, after seeing if Frank Skinner has still got it.
Work up a thirst by completing Adventure Lab Caches that take me on a tour of street art, the culture and history of the "City by the Ocean". The art is vaguely rude. The culture is the Beatles having a sit down on the Hoe. The history is mainly celebrations of people leaving or returning. The Mayflower. The Tolpuddle Martyrs.
It's called hope. I'm hoping its not in the Camra Sutre (ha!) |
Loving the two tag ons |
The views from the Hoe |
A check on Whatpub..... the Pub on the Hoe is a 10 O'clock opener. Thank you, thirsty sailors.
Pub on the Hoe, Citadel Road, Bays Brewery Top Sail
Doing what it says on the Tin |
The Vessel, Exeter Street, Bamberger Schwärzla and Deya
Micro shop conversions are the future |
The landlord is super knowledgeable and last week's Oktoberfest has been replaced by a Deya Takeover. How amusing, I travel all this way for a brewery almost on my doorstep.
The landlord is my first new friend of the day - explaining how he is one of only 8 venues in the GBG that do not have cask. I know someone who may be able to fact check that.
Certainly, no-one would argue with their inclusion after the Minerva
Home from Home - Sunny Spells later |
But first, a Bamburg Smoked Beer |
In venues so small, I cannot help but make my 2nd friend of the day. I get on famously with another solo drinker, partaking in rounds. Then he shows me an inventory of his street legal weapons secreted around his person. A number of evil looking, yet less than 3" bladed knives. A 1000 lumen mini-torch for blinding his quarry.
Fortunately, the death inducing gadgets remind me, I have people to meet and seats booked for James Bond. I can legitimately make my excuses.
But not until I finish my crisps.
The only thing is, will those last couple of 8% Deya's cause me to fall asleep on a comfy seat in a darkened room?
I'd have a had a chance if the new Bond had any sort of discernible plot.
I dream of what I have learned during the day.
James Bond consumed more units than me in as similar time frame. Cask is dead. Don't get into rounds with strangers. At least until you've frisked them.
