mb06 2025 Unplugged
Badly lit, poor sound. The late Summer Bank Holiday Weekend in Chippenham.

What happened on the first day of mb06 2025
A standard pleasant start to mb06. Costa breakfast and then a ice bucket arrive to the Bridge House. Evacuated when water started to gush from the ceiling. Finishing the pint in the beer garden. The Prince of Wales for the afternoon. Where I had my first £10.00 can of beer. Times are hard!
Leakage
Gentle journey. Standard Costa Coffee. Flooded Bridge House and napping in the Prince of Wales. Collab too.

Really good to get back Beanoing. The M4 was horrible and when I got off at Junction 17, I got a mention on DTNS Live. Drizzling in Chippenham. The Bridge House £1.99 and Craft Cans. The Prince of Wales, Putty and a Glass. Happy Travelodge.
Rain but The Fridges Wins
Rainy first Beano of the year. Lots of mentions on DTNS. Fridges rule and there was Dutty too. Quality Beano with a Glass.
Five and Dry
Of course the journey to Chippenham was damp. However, it was mostly light, which is a major positive. Costa then Spoons, The Bridge House. Five Fest Ales all reviewed and all halves. Sitting upstairs, overlooking the river. A very pleasant morning.
A boneless Chicken basket for lunch and then over to the Prince Of Wales. Dogs, Fine Ales and news of a new Craft Pub in July. Chippenham is becoming my new Portishead. Quality Beanoing.

Wet and Windy with a 40mph speed limit on the M4. Easy to find the Travelodge and there were spaces in the Carpark. There was a Tesco Express nearby and just around the corner from it was the footbridge across the railway. Just along from the Railway Station was the Prince of Wales. The town centre was a minute or two walk. Costa for breakfast and into the Bridge House, Spoons for the rest of the morning. It was new and clean but the WiFi was slow. The Prince of excellent but no WifI, so sit near the window if you are an Untappd user. The Travelodge was also new and clean but suffered from slow WiFi, booked a Full English.
Poor Driving Conditions
Wet, windy and cold with a 40 mph speed limit on the M4 due to poor weather conditions. It was light when I arrived at the Chippenham Travelodge, which is in easy reach of a Tesco Express, The Railway Station, Sainsbury’s Local and the town centre. The Prince of Wales is just down the road from the station. The local Spoons, The Bridge House is on the banks of The River Avon but is let down by slow WiFi.
The Prince of Wales Micro. Awesome but no WiFi, so sit near the window. Awesome welcome, awesome Ales and awesome Merch too. I have to return. This has been a quality Beano.
A Sporting Belgian
Autumn (The Fall) hit’s the beautiful Lower Rhymney Valley with only the first day as an Indian Summer. Cardiff where only Wetherspoons have sensible opening times (says me). Ending up in The Head of Steam where the live Untappd feed is only upstairs now. Belgian low alcohol ales and it is as good as the full fat. Power and USB sockets all over. It didn’t rain.
