Havant been Up Pompey before!

My only previous visit to this part of the world was for a game at Fratton Park in February 1984 (won 4-1 Keegan and Beardsley with 2 goals each) That was just a fleeting visit, so this was really the first chance to explore the pubs. I starting the day in Havant (when I saw Gateshead beat H&W 1-0) followed by a night out in Southsea and Portsmouth. I completed 19 pubs through the day, which included eleven 2019 GBG's and 4 'Spoons.

Loughborough Louts!

We were unable to complete our pub task in Loughborough, because the White Hart was closed because of cellar problems. We still ticked off 10 boozers, including the two JDW's and the oldest pub in the town. We also visited the Charnwood Brewery before hitting the M1 to pick up some beer glasses and a selection of their ales.
