Too Much!<\/b><\/p>\n

14 pints in 5 hours, with no lunch or dinner beforehand is.. <\/p>\n

Much Too Much!<\/b><\/p>\n

14 pints in 5 hours, with no lunch or dinner beforehand and some of those pints disappearing in under 10 seconds with the help of “Barry the Beer Bong<\/b>” is.. <\/p>\n

Just Fscking Ridiculous!<\/b><\/p>\n

It all started innocently enough, with a trip to the London Adventure Travel Show with Simon, a mate from Swinnie’s Res. college. <\/p>\n

I picked up a tonne of ideas for future travel – loads of road touring stuff, mtb touring, hiking, diving, yachting and even some groups that organise rides and other ‘interesting’ stuff for Londoners. <\/p>\n

Dermot, a Scottish bloke was particularly psyched about his cycle tours and I’m now dreaming of some insanely difficult, high-altitude “not a holiday, but an expedition<\/i>“-type touring. <\/p>\n

Once we’d cased the entire show it was into the nearest pub to break the drought. Two pints of “Cockle Warmer” 6.5% ale. Now, here is where I should’ve made the decision to head home and study some travel brochures. Nuh uh! “Barry” was calling…<\/p>\n

Long-story short and a couple of John Smith 6-packs later, not much of London’s west managed to escape the “liquid upheaval”…<\/p>\n

Sunday was a write-off, just like me! <\/p>\n
