Ale Trail 26 Social 18-07-26

Saturday 18 July 2026 12:05

Laurie Dooley met Jane Marston in the Green Dragon Bognor, as the old Dog & Duck had been re-named. (the Dog & Duck at The Claremont was out of action so the Ale Trail stamp had been transferred to the Green Dragon).

Others who appeared and buses used are given in brackets:

Jane (N°63), Dave Taylor (600 from Chi), Richard and Anne Earl (700 from Littlehampton), Chris Maher (700 from Chi), and Stephen Cox (51 and 700 from Chi). So we tested all the bus routes available; the 600 won hands down (it's only occasionally cancelled).

Gun Chummy Bluster was the only cask beer available, but Titanic Pale was available on keg (or was it KeyKeg? Don't know).

After some beery discussion, we left for the short walk to the Waverley and a choice of Dartmoor Jail Ale, Langham Glide, Electric Bear Mosaic Sounds Better With You, and fff Moondance, and the Ale Trail stamp.

Chris Ray and Heather Lawn joined us here and we tempted fate by sitting on table 12, which became table 13 when we moved the chairs and tables to fit us all, until 3:00pm when we dispersed to go home.
