I use to go to the Salvation Army Sunday School and stated with the brass band (It's true, I kid you not) when I was young. I got a dishonourable discharge years ago.


John, in my way of thinking. Doing the Inn's way without having a drink in them is like doing a challenge walk without going to the checkpoints.

Just not done.

Have fun and stay safe, But saying that it's more fun when things do go wrong.

Yes, it was ironic when we did the "Inn Way to the North York Moors", seven or so walks spread over the summer 2009, we missed every pub except for a pint at the finish in Helmsley. We were sponsored by the Salvation Army and that one slip cost us dear.

Nine pubs around York would demand a train ride home, otherwise I would be getting off the bus at every stop.

"touch of sarcasm"

I wan't dare John. But if not having a drink in them, you'll be doing the Innless way then.

John it's a pity you be away for my walk next Saturday for York. I'm leading a 5 miles with 9 pubs and yes we will be having a drink in every one.

Do I detect a touch of sarcasm there Ian? I should tell you that on my walk last Wednesday, "Brewers Round" from Copmanthorpe, we had Sammy Smiths in Tadcaster, even Mike C.

It was £1.52 a pint! It took me back to the days when I could go to the pictures, 5 pints, fish & chips on the way home and still have change from 10 bob!

John in the 6 days of walking how many Inn's will you be having a drink in?

ian.

I will throw myself in front of his lens every time he attempts to snap our group in rear shots on hills, fields and animal accessories

John if Martin Dawes is going with you can you hide his camera please. He's in 148th place and I don't what him catching up on me.

Hope the weather stays fine, have fun. ian.
