Sometimes, eve taking it easy takes it out of you. However, the quality Beanoing must continue and what a find The Thirsty Pine is. Brought to you by the same people behind The Siren’s Calling. A must return if there ever was one. Bye Bye mb05, you were a corker.

A day when Costa Customer service gets puts behind process. Videoing a Gorilla not people. Turks Head closed and a wonderful afternoon in the Pelican. WWDC was interesting, the iPad changes stood out but Oh! what a reality distortion field.

A sunny but fresh start to mb05, leaving Bedwas just before 06:00. There was a surprising amount of traffic all on of the rounds. Checked the car in at the Premier Inn and had a little explore before The Lord High Constable of England opened. The LHCoE really needs to let it’s Cask Ales rest more before they are served. Still the beers were good though. Sainsbury’s for an Apple Gift Card (Overcast renewal) and sandwiches. Extra Nectar points on the app. Five Guys for a double burger and lots of chips at a very high price.

The Hop Kettle next, where they have really good staff and Fine Ales but still no WiFi. A free half of Cask Ale on their savings card and then off to check in at the Premier Inn. Ground floor room with poor radio reception and it seems now that you can only get WiFi by the day.

Top Tips for calculating journey time. Grey and windy, then sunny and windy. Mirror image T-shirts then Corkage at a Craft Beer Bar.

Just because it’s sunny doesn’t mean it isn’t cold. Cans in The Bridge House and a Sunny afternoon in The Waverley. Upon leave it was looking rather grey.

Of course it was a rainy start to this Easter Beano. Costa now opens at 07:00, which is a plus. Spoons was rather quiet early on, probably due to it being a wet Easter. Missing Top Plates. The Prince of Wales was Great. Great Welcome, Great Beers and Great Clientele.

Another sunny start to the day. Emergency heating in The Kings Fee. Lady brewed Festival Ales. The Jam Factory with Ludlow. Red Azvex

Reformatting an SD card to start the day. Then a surprisingly light journey. An easy day on the knee and two 5.5% Fest Ales. The Filled Rolls are back and it was Rugby and discussions in The Hereford Beer House.

The Wrap for Day 02 for mb01 2025 in Chippenham. Cans, The Bridge House and The Waverley.

Really good to get back Beanoing. The M4 was horrible and when I got off at Junction 17, I got a mention on DTNS Live. Drizzling in Chippenham. The Bridge House £1.99 and Craft Cans. The Prince of Wales, Putty and a Glass. Happy Travelodge.

The Wrap for Day 02 mb07, to Portishead for the late Summer Bank Holiday Weekend 2024. Lots of IPAs.
