Beers Of The Beano – Saturday 16 May 2026
When May is rather wet and not very early summery, it’s time to revisit pubs that you haven’t been to since June 2021. The Rickards. What a great place that is. Twt Lol Lollfest glasses and Grey Trees beer. Then on to the Otley, where I got waved at. Still haven’t fixed the WiFi though, but the beers are really rather good. Nearly lost my bus pass as well.

Badly lit, poor sound. May Day 2026 Weekend in Chippenham. Picture in Picture and settling on iMovie. New Bristol Brewery won out.
What happened on the second day of mb03 2026
Dry but grey to start. iMovie over Resolve for simple edits. Putting Picture in Picture back. Gentle Full English. The Waverley and People. Spotting rain.

Places that are closed. Places with Fine Ales but no WiFi and then The Wonderful Settle Inn. People, Fine Ales and good WiFi. Need to return.

Wings and Painting
When your Beano is Red Sky, Spicy Chicken Wings and a Micro Pub with lots of Citra Ales at Easter. That Quality.
