Are you ready for the 2009 pub crawl?

02/05/09 - 0 comments

It's that time of year again when everyone insists on running about the place getting all sweaty instead of enjoying the sunshine with a nice pint.

Yes, tomorrow is the Great West Run, a 13.1 mile slog around the streets of Exeter with about 2999 other nutters who thought it would be a good idea.

This year we are again reminding people that the run can be made all the more interesting by stopping for a pint in each of the pubs you pass on route, 8 on the first lap and 9 on the second, leaving you 17 pints for the worse when you stagger over the finish line, before vomiting up a kidney.

Serious alcoholics can take a shot at each mile marker although you might need to bring along a hip flask or something equally stylish, filled with the liqueur of your choice.
