Photo of your bike outside a pub named after a person.

All day, we left in the morning and it was late night when we got back, I think it was in the autumn, but it was at least 23 years ago as it was when I worked for BT, probably 25 years ago.

It stopped at Clacton and Southend piers on the way there and back, sort of like a nautical coach trip, it was quite enjoyable while it was light, but once it got dark it really was cold outside and inside was crowded.

A bit of research says it might have actually been the Balmoral and not the Waverley this nautical escapade occurred on.

I thought you’d nail this one too given most pubs in Ireland are named after people (according to Wiki).
