Stocky Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 How do you find your Pubs? Is there an easy way? Open Google maps of the area you want to ride, type in the name of the pub you're after and choose from the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onesea Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Its not always easy thoughLast year it worked fine this year the amount of local pubs its missed... Barley Mow 4 miles away unless I type in the town name and "Barley Mow" Google will not show it.Makes you wonder how many more I have missed locally. Although I think this year my score is going to be low the Tags just dont line up for me LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Old Git Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Deja-vu (or some such saying!) Some folks suffer from a short -term memory loss issue!!!I use both Google and Cask Finder to locate pubs. Also, the Biker Guide can be quite helpful at times. Any pub that displays the local CAMRA guide will also list local (to that area) pubs, as does most of the 'trivago' style on-line search tools. Pubs can also be found by riding to other 'Tags' and spotting them en-route. Finally, there is the 'map' kindly uploaded by TMBF giving most of the pubs in the UK!

Six30 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Stopped and had a coffee and I was sitting opposite a pub called the red lion, had no number with me and didn't bother with a pic , does this count as a tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 No, on three counts:1. You must show your number in the picture.2. There is a specific pub "ye Olde Red Lion" in a specific location that is the tag.3. The 10 Pubs list has 'the Lion' and as previously mentioned, no colour, type, name or other added word in the title is accepted.Just stop crying and get back out there with a camera and clock some 'real' tags - No excuses, the weather is perfect!

Grumpy Old Git Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 How do you work that out Beefy? The 10 Pubs do not have a Red Lion. One of the 'Group Tags' has a specific Tag - The Olde Red Lion. It is NOT one of the 10 Pub Tags. I have 'got' all ten Pubs including 'The Lion' AND I have the 'group tag' - 'The Olde Red Lion' so.... where's your beef??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
