You’d think that would be a piece of piss to do.

Under Guinness World Records rules, Mr Ellis, who runs a wine merchant's in St Neots, had to consume 125ml of any drink at each stop, visit a minimum of 50 pubs

 

Not even dictating pint , no tops, a walking challenge.

It may well be but it’s finding 51 pubs that are open in the time frame, getting between them but he was only drinking coke or juice

Theres a challenge over this way of doing the alphabet of pubs in a day. Its on my bucket list

Ardwick, Brunswick, Clarence, Dunes I think are the starters...

You’d have thunk that there London with the pubs around Fleet Street and trader’s markets would be easier run.

11 pints?

Could be Bud Light/Coors/Carling etc and you'd still be able to drive home.

Back in the day Halliwell Rd used to be the challenge.  Not sure what the official challenge was but I failed miserably on my 18th.  Started right at the very bottom and having a whiskey chaser in each one I don't think I even made it half way.

I suspect it's a piece of piss nowadays as there's probably only a handful of pubs.

Wonder if the Muslims do a shisha bar crawl?

It was a right of passage for my family for years as we could then stagger home after the ainsworth. A whisky chaser is just a bit much!

On my 18th, did it and then got a taxi in town to Hawthorns, mate jumped on stage with a band, left after 20 mins and then he was sick in the taxi at the bottom of Halliwell. Did it a few times afterwards but I guess now there isn't that many pubs, especially down the bottom end.

Not dramatic. Macclesfield; still a high density of pubs?

We still have quite a few bars in Macclesfield but  the problem may be opening hours as apart from Spoons none of them open until around 11.

It all depends on the definition of pub / bar as if you count places that sell alcohol in Macc including restaurants etc it won't be far off 50. I'll have a count up later and put my name down for a World Record attempt.

51 isn't enough.

Once did a few along there. Like you say, not so many any more.

Otley run used to be around 12 pubs in late 90s uni days. Probably more now as loads more bars have opened in Headingley since then

There use be 12 pubs / bars in Kearsley along Manchester Road / Bolton Road starting at the Unity Brook and finishing at the Black Horse.

In Athy there used to be 7 pubs on the left hand side and 10 on the right hand side, now there are 5 on the left hand side and 13 on the right hand side
