As a lover of the stronger beers I was starting to get a little concerned with the choice on offer, but The Travellers Rest has put a smile back on my face.

 

Route C was the one that initially caught my eye, so things are starting to shape up nicely.

Hi Andy, Is the listing for beers on the Three Valleys website under the Coach and Horses heading correct?

 

It's showing the same beers as noted above for the Inn at Troway.

 

Hopefully the weather will stay fine.....The forecast isn't looking bad.

The Coach haven't announced their beer list so is probably wrong...

Thanks Andy.

 

I think our route will probably be Dronfield Station - Dronfield Arms - Coach and Horses - Route C Bus......Then who knows after that.

 

I don't ever recall going to The Travellers, so I'm looking forward to that.

 

Regards

Any news on the Royal Oak and Coach & Horses or is it a case of turn up and see with those two?

 

It looks like an early start and an early finish for me.

I am doing an early start as well as I ended up been stuck last time when some of the the buses were taken off due to public order problems.
