I've googled the main pubs on the tour - here's a link. AHB 2007 Crawl Locations
I've added the particular beers Gerard mentioned for each place.

Nice work, LittleSquares. This makes life easier for me and any other late comers).
I'll ring one of the Hills Brewers when I'm close to see where you're all at.

Looks like we might be getting a lift with Franko and Mrs Franko to Balmain......


No Worries, Will see you guys in there.

Dont worry Kabooby plus one, will see you at the station and lead in the charge of the 'Westies' on the Traditional Train and bus pilgramage from Campbelltown station, sound like a few of the MALE contingencies are getting a bit soft and cant put up with a scrap on Campbelltown train station ,with the Bogons .

Perhaps they no longer can stomach the cold Maccas, soggy fries with flat coke at Central station and standing waiting for the bus in the wind at rain in that god forsaken place Balmain .HTFU who ever thought of there for a pub crawl .

One may ask where is the Camaraderie of the MALE group, in this yearly expedition from Cambeltown to the outer reaches of Balmain on Public transport, "sadly lacking" I hear. next they will be saying they are staying in a Hotel or at relations and not risking the treacherous trip home to Campbeltown.

Few would remember those in past expeditions that fell by the wayside on the way home and had to sleep in the gutter ,and woke up with a sore arse .

It looks like it will be up to 'Kabooby' 'plus one' and 'Pumpy' this year from the Westies to lead the charge .


Pumpy :unsure:

 

[Phrak]

I'm still in for Saturday and still have 2 spots in the car for anyone who'd like a lift in.

Unfortunately though, I have to bail at 6pm for baby-sitting duties - The Wife's night out... only fair I guess.

Upside of it is, that she can come and pick me up!
Anyone wanting a lift back to my area is welcome on the wagon.

Tim.

Cheers for the offer Tim, but I'll be making my own way in dropping the family off on the way, and will be staying in the city for the night :beerbang:

Memo to all travelling from the south-west. Doc has room in his penthouse in the city, no need to travel back on the late train that night.

Cheers

Pumpy gets all the lucky breaks doesn't he. You reckon Doc will cook up breakfast for the boys Sunday morning?

I notice it is only Duff and Gerard volunteering hospitality at Doc's city Penthouse

for the 'Crusade from Campbeltown' to find the "Holy Pale Ale" in the outer reaches of Balmain

I suppose the only thing we share with Balmain is the same footy team
"Go the Tigers "
Shhhhh"
Not very well !
How Bizzarre is that .

By the way I like Blueberries on my Pancakes with a splash of 'Creme fresh' in the morning Doc .

I will take my 'Anti Gas tablets' which were so sucessful in the recent crusade to Kin Kin which allows me to go for a long time after being on the beer, with out suffering high powered flatulance , well it is not a problem for me its others around me that appear to suffer.

Just to make you guys feel easier.....Lil Cube and I WILL be adding to the ranks on the return voyage to the Fatherland

Is Hogan going to join us??

 

[Franko]

Hogans out his old mans in town

 

[PostModern]

Bugger. Must be a case of 'Life or Death' PoMo.

Doc

Near enough. I have a (social) golf comp at Riverside Oaks (a severely overrated course from what I've heard) next week and need to get some new golf shoes and spend some time at the practice range in preparation. No car and kiddy care duty for the next two days leaves me no time but to do those things on Sat.

Hope you all enjoy yourselves and I'll catch you all at next year's crawl.

Not bad at all. Lived a block away from The Rose, and The Duck and Swan many years ago, and used to frequent both at least bi-weekly

OK Riverside Oaks is a good test so just keep it on the short stuff. The greens are huge, so watch out for some long putts if you misjudge a few shots in. Most greens out there will break towards the river.

Shoes - wear 2 pairs of socks to avoid blisters, take the spikes out & wear them around the house each night to help break them in.

Practice - 68% of all shots are from 110 yards in (stats from Dave Pelz short game guru), so at least 68% of your practice should focus on this area. Not much use practicing hitting your driver further into the trees.

Now if you came to the crawl I am sure Duff could tell you about all the different types of grass you may or may not encounter during your round.

Cheers
