The Blogger – Female Fat, fifty and more than occasionally f***ed off with the world .) Pint of any decent Citra or IPA if you’re buying.

The Occasional Travel Companion – Second hand scruffy ,  defiantly twat-ish terrier with the intelligence of a gnat .

The Blog – Off beat and unusual ( aka nerdy and boring ) days out by public transport , including consumption of real ale as standard .

Most in God’s Own County of Yorkshire but occasionally straying to the dark side and into Lancashire and beyond .

Inspired by the wonderful ‘ Northern Delights’ , the legendry volume that is ‘ Bollocks to Alton Towers ‘ and a need for a reason (however obscure) to get out my fat arse out of the house

Periodic off topic rants at the world in general and an odd four letter word are to be expected .(It’s a hormone thing !)

Day’s out obviously will….

Include a visit to a quality Public House   and will involve the  imbibing of at least one delicious traditional hand pulled British Ale ! (No Carling here )

Be accessible by some form of Public Transport  Err.. see the above  !! Travel info can be found on each post as a guide.

Be cheap ‘n’ cheerful and a tad random  I don’t stick to one sort of day out – countryside , coast or urban – some are a success others not so , non cost the earth – variety and all that s*** !

And wont be …

Ridiculously strenuous  It’s a day out with a gentle(ish) perambulate and some light ‘refreshments, not a sodding route march.

 Especially child-friendly I’m middle-aged with an occasionally grumpy mutt – sorry but that’s just how it is.

 A replacement for a detailed route guide or serious beer blog You can find these all over the net written by folk far far more obsessive and at times far more boring than me

No freebies or paid promotion  (save the odd pint )  are involved in this site, unlike lots of ‘travel blogs ’  essentially just a sad hobby site,  so a nod, either by a social media follow or by comment, to show that someone is at least reading the sodding thing would be lovely !!

 Enjoy !
