Distance - c3 miles
Geocaches - 1
Pubs - 10. You don't necessarily need to visit any of them. But you should.
Good Beer Guide Pubs - #694 and #695
Sometimes your hobbies combine. I have had my eye on this Multi-Cache for some time. To provide the non-cacher with an idea of what this involves, the seeker needs to collect information from a number of sources. Apply the information to a formula to work out the final co-ordinates. Go and find the cache to sign your name.
I've possibly lost 30% of my readership but I'll quickly re-ignite their interest. The information is found on pubs. 10 of them. 10 that make up a version of the "Harborne Run".... one of those legendary pub crawls that have gone down in booze-hound folklore.

The Instructions |
A photo-blog of a great afternoon out.
|
Green Man - Ember Inn - Info collection, unvisited |
|
The Plough - Packed at 11:30am on a Sunday..... |
|
... Where half a Blue Moon (compulsory orange slice) is £3.75. Can I afford to cache? |
|
Good Beer Guide Tick - Lovely Garden - Forced to await the scrape of the bolt |
|
Inside at midday - Not too shabby (chic) |
|
2nd Good Beer Guide Tick of the Day - the White Horse |
|
Positives: Aircon. Cask Jaipur. Negatives: Stuffed in an Abbot Glass |
|
Cheapest pint in Harborne - unvisited this time - I have complex maths to do later |
|
One my favourites in the land - The Junction. In my excitement to get there, I failed to photograph the Slug and Lettuce. Oh well, it wasn't for me, anyway. |
|
Chesterfield Wing Backs, TT Landlord and a home made Scotch Egg on order |
|
The Vine - I don't do pubs that sizzle |
|
I'll wait for the adjacent building to open as a JDW |
|
Unvisited New Inn - Don't remember this being a Marstons - but a fine pint was had on my previous visit |
|
The Bell - Final Pub - A beauty, with views overlooking a bowling green and onto a church. Bucolic. |
|
To work out the Maths with a posh lager |
And the co-ords looked good - despite the Hop Garden changing their windows and a slightly ambiguous count of doors at the Junction.
I would publish a photo of the find with name signed on the log but I don't want to provide any clues.
Future cachers will have to work just as hard as I did.
Thanks so much for the TheSharksmiths setting me up with a fine afternoon's entertainment!
