Local beer. Yealands Golden Ale from the Old School Brewery in Warton, drunk in Yealand Counters, the next village along. It's how I imagine Boddy's used to be.

tsk....Yealand Conyers

When I pop up to visit my Mum in Carnforth I'll have to give it a try

I presume it's the New Inn? Semi interesting anecdote; I used to play rugby for Vale of Lune (Lancaster) and the New Inn at Yealand Conyers used to be a very popular stop off on the way back from Cumbrian fixtures for the team. This was largely due to the fact the landlady had two extremely pretty daughters who used to work behind the bar

Just had a dunkel, v nice. Here's an ad shot as I didn't have my box brownie with me.

Loddon's Hoppit... The gin isn't as massive looks!

Blame my phone's auto-correct - yes, "Yealand Conyers", and the New Inn. Which sounds as thought it ought to be somewhere in the leafier parts of the south - and the grey limestone hereabouts is similarly southern. The pub's been recently refurbished as a community-run enterprise, and also would not look out of place in Hampshire. Nor would the pizza we had - artisanal chicken, chorizo and feta with balsamic glaze, and pulled pork with barbeque sauce and jalapenos. The prices were northern, however - under a tenner for each pizza, and £3.10 a pint.

For my second I hopped across the pennines....

...and then as we hoicked over the hills on our walk back to Leighton Moss nature reserve I remembered why having two pints and a large pizza at lunchtime isn't necessarily the most sensible thing to do if you're being active.

Lovely area. I was a very regular visitor to Leighton Moss on my bike when I was a boy. Hope you saw Marsh Harriers etc. There is a Purple Heron there now, a rare visitor from South Europe

We saw a Marsh Harrier and will go back later in the week when it's a bit quieter to see if we can see the Purple Heron (although we have seen them in France...) Tomorrow night we're visiting for a dusk walk, which will hopefully involve bats and deer.

The place we're staying is about a quarter of a mile from the front door of the Moss. It is a beatiful area, and one we didn't know at all.

At the risk of turning the beer thread into the wildlife thread, if you're doing a dusk walk try to incorporate the flights of the Little Egrets into their night time roost at Leighton Moss. There are about a hundred at the moment and quite a spectacle. The Silverdale/Arnside area is, as you rightly say, a beautiful area

A Bavarian pale ale which is remarkably like a lager. Cold on a hot day though.

M40 junction 2 - only a couple of miles off the M25. There's a Wetherspoons at Beaconsfield services.

You know something like 132% of Brits take tea bags on holiday with them, sometimes they take beer too...

 

[Tin Pot]

That'll do pig.

Rocket Cub APA from Ubrew, which is beergasm inducing, according to the blurb! I'll be back in a mo when I've changed my undies

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Beergasm! If ever the moniker ridiculous old lush held true...
