Walking to the pub

sobriqueAs you may know, I have daily activity targets, in numbers of steps that I've been trying to keep up with. I'm mostly doing ok with it, and _most_ workdays hit target.
Which given my target is 20,000 steps at the moment (10 miles) is something I'm quite proud of.
The other day I spotted that it's basically 1000 steps to the Whitefriars from my house (half a mile). Which means I could walk there, have a pint, walk back, and clock up 2000 steps by doing so.
This obviously extends into round trips to the pub, punctuated by a beer inbetween. Given we're talking about 10 round trips, it might have to be halves :).
I couldn't quite figure out if this was really good, or really wrong.
But it lead me to thinking - the weather is warming up, and I like trying to get my daily steps in. So would it not be splendid, if I were to talk to a country pub somewhere, have a beer and a drink, and walk back again.
I mean, Kenilworth is 5 miles or so.
The bear at berkswell is 6.
The Old mill at Baginton is 3.5
Ryton is 4.7.
Bedworth is similarly, about 5 miles.
So, on a warm summer afternoon - either at the weekend, or one evening - would anyone be interested in a bimble in search of beer and a pub lunch?
