Pint Of Ale

A pint of Copper Dragon in The Abbey in Bramley.

It’s almost 24 hours since the Grand Adventure finished and I am still feelling the aches! It was a walk of almost 14 miles, with a rather disapointing 4 pubs on the way. The Barge in Rodley seemed a good one, but we arrived at five past three so were turned away due to their […]

Matt has the smallest bladder in the world!

The Bridge at Kirkstall is our next and probably final pub. Again a familiar pub, but neither of us have been for a long time. A nice pint of Black Sheep and a chatty landlord occupy this venue.
We’re both getting tired and Mike is apprehensive of the final 3 miles being in pitch dark! Food […]

(Waypoint 22) The Abbey, a small, quiet pub tucked away down a small lane off Leeds and Bradford Road in Bramley. Both of us went for the Copper Dragon Brewery’s Best Bitter. A good pint.
Starting to feel the strain now. 4 miles to go…

Well, can’t really review this pub as we turned up 5 minutes too late to get a pint. Odd they should close the bar so early, on a Thursday, at Christmas. Nice surroundings though.

(Waypoint 20) Our journey brings us through to familiar territory. The Railway pub in Rodley. A busy pub, lots of railway-related plaques and pictures on the wall.
Mike had a Black Sheep, while I opted for a Hobgoblin.

(Way point 19) A Two For One chain pub just off the canal at Apperley Bridge; a warm, comfortable, family pub with a Wacky Warehouse attached. Due to lack of choice and the Timothy Taylor brewery’s Landlord being off, we settled on pints of Tetley hand pulled.
The broken hand dryer annoyed Mike.

Well, we’re stopping for a pastie, no pubs so far.

Mike stops to break the ice with his bare hands, nice one Mike.
