I remember you going home from Marsden, but I also remember you being in the Kings Arms on another trip.<br /><br />I'm glad I made good use of my time whipping in Slaithwaite. I really didn't remember being there before. Just a good thing my red pen came out of its pocket that evening really.<br /><br />Just as a fun target to beat me, I reckon on finishing West Yorks shack ticking this season. I've not worked out when the last will fall yet, but I have at least one close season jolly. The question is, will I finish South, or even east, first?Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-74885526875529287572015-07-09T11:36:44.051+01:002015-07-09T11:36:44.051+01:00I know Tom, a rare no mention of lovely barmaids! ...I know Tom, a rare no mention of lovely barmaids! Journey going well so far, dragging a bit now we've just left Leuchers.<br /><br />I am 100% sure I was in Slaithwaite with you all. It was later in the day than Marsden and Greenfield and I remember both those pubs a bit better, probably cos been more than once. I remember being on the Transpenine back with everyone cos Ben n Christine fell out and weren't talking all the way back to York (something about Ben going missing on another platform in Huddersfield!)

On the day when you had no breakfast, you went home from Marsden, deciding you'd reached the full sign (we were in, or more accurately outside, the Ossett Riverside Brewery Tap at the time). Marsden is west of Slaithwaite. I wonder whether you are actually thinking of the Railway Inn in Greenfield, which loosely fits the description.<br /><br />If I'm wrong, you'll be amused to hear that I have subsequently wasted time flipping out from Hudders to whip in the shack at Slaithwaite. It did not seem familiar at the time. And funnily enough, I too was greeted by friendly drunken locals.<br /><br />I find it very disappointing that you didn't actually call the child a little shit. And that there is no mention of barmaids in the Commercial.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-77959848680511685232015-07-08T20:42:10.565+01:002015-07-08T20:42:10.565+01:00*The Slaithwaite Conundrum - So, the only time I v...*The Slaithwaite Conundrum - So, the only time I visited a pub here was on my first of three Transpenine Real Ale trails, which I think was the original "Welly Summer Day Out". I was naive, I had no breakfast in Dewsbury WRRR, was quite worse for wear, so my memories are hazy. I think it was summer 2008, I say this because I took my York 'gang' on the back of this first trip, but Jig was not allowed to come cos his accident still made pubby jaunts impossible. He had his accident Oct 2008 so I think I took them in the Spring/Summer 2009. My only memories are a short but very steep walk, up a country lane, possibly even cobbled but I could be thinking Haworth there. The pub was furnished in a lounge style and I think they had a lot of beers from a specific local brewery. There seemed quite a few kids, babies with Mums around the place. I wonder what it was called! Si 'BRAPA' Everitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291680772889990384noreply@blogger.com
