On 3rd July the ale amblers head to Warwick.

Our first pub will be The Wild Boar, down the road at the back of the station, which opens at 12.00.

After a brief stop we will catch a bus outside the Wild Boar in the direction of the Cape of Good Hope(bring bus passes). Posh Sarnies can be purchased there. We will then catch another bus to the town centre where, hopefully, we will have time to visit the Four Penny Pub, the Old Post Office, the Dough & Brew, the Eagle, the Craftsman Bar and the New Bowling Green.

Most places sell food, some on the pricey side, but none appear to sell the ever popular cobs! Therefore, you may wish to bring your own. Alternatively, there is a Greggs and a Wetherspoons in the Town Centre.

The details of the proposed trains are:

OUT: depart Cheltenham Spa 09.59, arrive Birmingham New Street 10.45
Walk to Birmingham Moor Street and catch 11.15, arrive Warwick 11.47

IN: depart Warwick 18.36, arrive Birmingham Moor Street 19.04
