As Paul’s best man it was my
responsibility to organise his stag do. It was on a weekend and was in two
parts; firstly was to travel into London and in the morning visit several of
the new craft breweries that have sprung up around Bermondsey including:
- Fourpure
- EeBria (not a brewery but a beer shop)
- Partizan
- Kernal
- Brew by Numbers
Then we headed to Borough Market where
we split up for lunch, some of us ended up in the restaurant called Roast that
overlooked the market.
Suitable sated we commuted over to Clapham
Junction where we had a drink in The Falcon (once in the Guinness Book of
Records for its long bar) and to our main attraction for the evening at the
Four Thieves a pub with their own
microbrewery on site and a large games room where we played on the Moonshine Raceway
(radio controlled pick-up trucks around a large track) and Plonk Crazy Golf
(nine holes squeezed into the smallest of spaces). There was also ping-pong,
football and ice hockey tables, and video games including a giant screen Street
Fighter.
It was a fun day, but eventually the
hours got and loud music got to us old folk and after a last drink at the Falcon
we headed to our beds.
The following day we headed out to West
Sussex where Southern Pursuits put on a variety of activities based at Tulleys
Farm. Here a dozen of us gathered in the rain to try our hands at Archery, Clay
Shooting and Axe Throwing. During the morning/afternoon the weather improved
and I think most people enjoyed themselves.
