The barcrawl is coming. Friday 19th June. Start of route will be the Earl of Mercia at 10:00 for breakfast.

Walking

Walked to work and back yesterday. 4.1miles each way. I don't think I've actually walked that far in a day for _quite_ some time. Took a bit under an hour and a half, and I ended up on 20k steps for the day (usefully over the 11k target).

Not as bad as I thought, although time consuming.
Given how awful the parking is here, I might have to do it more often.

There is a heated debate going on in our office at the moment. The scenario is this:
There is a roundabout near work. A dual carriageway leads up to it. The rush hour traffic is pretty much all turning left, and queuing in the left lane.
Is overtaking in the right lane, and going all the way around the roundabout to skip the traffic queue innovative and efficient, or is it being rude and annoying?

All Day Barcrawl Routing

So how does this sound as a provisional route - and as always, additions/suggestions, and most espcially 'that place is closed now' warnings appreciated.

10:00 Earl Of Mercia (breakfast stop - wetherspoons ish sort of place)
12:00 Inspire (Belgian Beers)
13:00 Windmill (Real Ale pub)
14:00 Old Orleans (Cocktail stop)
15:00 Flying Standard (Wetherspoonsy)
16:00 Somewhere in Priory place. Ideally somewhere that's open. Anyone know which of Prague/Dogma still exist/are servicable? (Also a cocktail stop)
17:00 Browns (maybe food here too)
19:00 Whitefriars (end of the line, settle in for the night and drink their fine fine ales)
And then ... splinter groups go off to find decent eateries, if they can be bothered, and return as and when. Recommendations: Habibi, Aqua, China Red, Noodle Bar,
