This was a very large pub crawl, which included one pub in Chatham, twenty five pubs in Canterbury and six in Woolwich south east London.
My mate Chris took the photo of me stood outside, my other mate was sat inside.

The Earl Grey was situated on Folkestone's nice looking old high street.
This was me and my wifes favourite pub in Folkestone, a single roomed Shepherd Neame tied house,
We had some great times in here, the best was a session with a gang of UDR lads who sat round us. When they found out it was our honeymoon they would not let us buy a drink.
When it came to chucking out time we said our goodbyes and we all said what a good session it was.
We staggered back to the pub we were staying at well ready for bed, but the landlord collared us and said it's your honeymoon so you're going nowhere, we're having a late session on the guinness, there were only about 6 of us but it rounded the night off for us.

I first did the Morning star back in 1983 when it was a manns tied house. Me and the wife always go to the Morning star when in Lincoln top pub with about five real ales on.

Feathers Tavern

When we moved to Stapleford in 1985 the Feathers became our local. A two roomed Shipstones tied house we drank in the lounge. I made lots of friends we even took the silver cross pram in loads of times. The Feathers was a Shipstones tied house the bitter and mild was always on top form.
Falmouth
The Front

As the name says it's on Falmouth's sea front.
A long single room with bench seating and chairs. There was a good lively atmosphere each time we came in. You can also bring your own food so we had two fish from the chip shop which is above the pub. We had a fish each and a few each of Skinners Lushingtons it went down a treat.
This is the final pubs on the never ending pub crawl. I found out three weeks ago that my cancer had returned and both the top ENT and oncology consultants said it was not operable and that I would die soon.
I would like to thank Dan for his help in setting my blog up also other pub bloggers who have helped me make my blog look better.
I will leave my wife who has been a rock during my illness, a son and daughter, a grandson and granddaughter,
Cheers Alan
