  1. Spent the week in a pub in Dorset, well most of the week, drinking Palmers ales from Bridport. 

    Slurp. Palmer's Dorset Gold is up there. Ringwoods Best Bitter is ok as well.

    Nearly as good as Burton Bridge Bitter or Bass.

  2. Naymind that, them gates at the end of the tunnel have a railway crossing look to them?

    ​Haha, missed this post Boycie.....yep, the land used to have a rail line running through it, the old line is a nice walk so the council "themed" the gates that keep the motorbikes lads out.

    The old line ran from Uttoxeter, the next stop was the JCB World Headquarters factory at Rocester, followed by Denstone (near the College), then a couple of hundred yards from Alton Towers and on to Oakamoor through to Macclesfield i believe.

    Good job they closed it down, they'd be no call for it now!

     

     

     

  3. About £11, I just checked. Ta. Problem with the train is that you have to go via Sheffield and Stockport, 2hr26min journey to go somewhere else in Derbyshire!

     

    One for the future when my bank balance hasn't got a Christmas hangover.

     

    Check out the Derbyshire Wayfarer ticket.

    Using a mixture of trains and buses you may be able to plan a decent pub crawl round Derbyshire for £11.60!
