Joiners Arms in the village of Hampsthwaite

Just found this thread.

Living in London, I reckon I should be able to do the entire alphabet in a single ride. It will take a lot of planning, though.

A spreadsheet has been started...

But where would be the fun in that?😉
I'm sure someone must have said it's better to travel than arrive. - Especially if not using public transport or a budget airline.

I'm anticipating hours and hours of route planning and optimising fun. (Followed by a fairly unpleasant ride around the suburbs.)

Absolutely spoilt for choice - you have the chance (time and scope) to do several iterations of this before year end.

Why not opt for different themes ? .. eg nautical or musical ? I used to know a pub called the 'Yellow Submarine' if that's any help..

Another suggestion - limit yourself to Thames-side pubs (which would obviate the need to grind through the suburbs).

From Greenwich in the east to Putney in the west - both sides of the river - loads and loads of pubs...

Back in Taunton, The King's Arms.
