Transpennine Ale Trail

[andyhinch]

Used to be a good day but knobs have wrecked it.

I've stopped going, a few old boys I know do one to staley Vegas

Anyone ever done one of these?

Basically a group of you get on a train from piccadilly to Huddersfield/Dewsbury (or however far you want to go) and frequent the pubs on or near the platforms, slowly making your way home.

I'm doing this tomorrow (as long as the snow doesn't fuck it up!) - it's a belter of a day out!

Is your Ale trail still going ahead

Did it last year, didn't see any aggro. Sun was shining beer was flowing, cracking day out with the lads. Doing it again this year at the end if may

It was good, despite the cold weather. Had a few dropouts because of the snow so there were only 4 of us in the end!

Train to Dewsbury at 12pm, group of 9 young (18-21-ish) girls getting smashed with jaegerbombs etc. on the way to leeds for a friends birthday (They were ALL gorgeous by the way!). Obviously got chatting to them and managed to bag us an invite to Leeds with them..... I'm 33, overweight, but I've still got it!! Had to turn them down as 3 of us are married though :(

Later on got stuck in Mossley (don't ask!) with an hour to go until the last train - invited back to an older couples house for the night (definitely swingers!).

It was about minus 12 degrees, got ambushed by some kids with snowballs in Slaithwaite (although we eventually smashed them) so it was a REALLY good day out.

We're going again in the warmer weather though....

Bumping this thread as we are doing this tomorrow. I've never been on the Ale trail before but some of the lads with us have done.

Reading this thread I've come to the conclusion it will either be a great day out or an absolute disaster.

Have a good long look at the time--tables, everything changed with them a few weeks ago, you are now two hours between trains,( not always a bad thing;)), and Greenfield maybe a problem. Have a great day anyway.
