Northern Line pub crawl
The great north run. Well, crawl. Start at Camden,
head north jumping off the tube at every other stop to Edgware.
Then back on the alternate stops to Camden again.

13:00, World's End, CamdenStart and eventual end of the crawl. Everyone bar Phil was there when I arrived, he turned up looking quite shocking 5 minutes later. Darren nipped to the bookies to get some footy coupons and then we were off! |

|
The Rat & Parrot, Belsize ParkAssurances that "I know where it is" were met with scepticism as we traipsed up the hill. The pub eventually found we settled down for a well earned pint. |
|
|
|
Refectory, Golders GreenJust round the corner from the station. Remarks were made regarding their fry up with vodka & red bull combination wotsit |
|
|
|
Bodhran Bar, HendonNo real plan about where to go at Hendon we went under the big roundabout and spied this place. Mad Irish place with some strange looking people. |

Bald Faced Stag, Burnt OakDrinks swiftly quaffed due to grimness of surrounding area (Burnt Oak that is, rather than the pub). Watched half time footy results come in. |

Railway, EdgwareInitially set off by turning right out of the station we found 1 closed pub and another pub that was more of a restaurant. Having conceded we could use Pizza Hut and get beer it all went a bit Pete Tong. With a large table secured for our use Darren called from his mobile and said he'd found a pub. The half of us that were already sat down made a run for it back onto the main road. The munchies became unbearable so a few people nipped into Greggs. The pub totally ruled! Had greasy fry up unhealthy stuff and watched full time footy results come in. |

New Chandos, ColindaleYet more vindication. Mike Silky thinks he all "there's no pubs in Colindale", but he ain't! 5 minute walk down the hill. A proper traditional pub too (ie. in chronic state of disrepair) |

Brent CrossPoint conceded with this one, there's NOTHING in Brent Cross. You come out of the station into suburbia where everyone has net curtains in the windows. We could see the shopping centre so we aimed for that but gave up having cross the footbridge and it was getting any closer. It was agreed we would have twice as much drink in the next pub and threw in the bar towel |

King William IV, HampsteadTop pub in a nice area and Anne's 100th pub of the year. Stayed for a while. Don't know where the hat came from although it's possible we aquired it in Bodrhan's and it never made it into any pictures until this point |

Moon Under Water, Chalk FarmWetherspoons place. Very busy. We may have found somewhere to sit |
|
|
|
Worlds End, CamdenBack here again. The party split as myself and Darren set off at pace from the Moon while the rest of the gang waited for a bus. We beat them |

AftermathEveryone went home, except me as I met up with some other people and went downstairs to Underworld for mad crazy dancing until 2am |
