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

So this is still the current requirement for weekend.

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.

Two shandies.

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

Might be out test riding the scoot tomorrow, so whats the current challenge? Is it still a named pub or did the ship do that?

It's rained all week here.

It's Ireland, of course it has

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

That’s a good photo. You on your way to the pub to get a photo?
