Starting with an icy roof on the car, then mist in Trethomas and finally semi sunny entering Hereford. As I got out of the car in the Travelodge carpark it started to rain. Sainsbury, then a Coffee in Costa and the standard Cask Ale and filled rolls in The Orange Tree.
It got very Pubby in the Beer In Hand with experimental hops and lots of dogs. I need to visit it more.

All you can eat Full English to beat the cold weather. Strangely no frost. Then onto The Posset Cup, where someone had superglued a 10p to my table. I seem to have developed a taste for Doombar. Extra Nectar points at Sainsbury’s, things then back to The Siren’s calling. Drinking LocAle. Nothing Else Matters.

The car was frosted up, so it was two hot water bottles on the dash and de-icing fluid everywhere else. The journey to the M4 was following a driver even slower than me. No frost in Portishead and Spoons was Coffee and Guest Ales. The Siren’s Calling was all Bristol and Belgian Ales. Chips from next door as well. A cold Beano but a quality Beano.

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.

Begin the day with a Premier Inn all you can eat Full English and wash it done with a Pint of Darwin’s Origin from Salopian at The Lord High Constable of English. Squeezing in between the two a new contact lens order. Boosting The New Media Shown and Podcasting 2.0 with Sats. Loaded up with food at Sainsbury’s and again extra Nectar points. Arrived early at Warehouse 4, a whole 7 minutes early. Too loud, getting old.

So Sainsbury’s Chicken Salad Sandwiches at 04:30 and leaving the Mac to upload to YouTube while I went to Costa Coffee. Salopian and BrewDog hoppy start. Five Guys probably worth the money but note every week. Deya on cask at the Pelican.

Not only no street lights but 20 mph. The M5 as it gently got light while the M4 was a racing track. Bonus Nectar points while there was no Breakfast deal in Costa Coffee. The canal bridge rises twice. A new carpet in The Lord High Constable of England. Märzen in the Brewhouse and Kitchen. A gentle start to Oktoberfest Gloucester. No food van but plenty of beer and another glass. I fell asleep and was offered a glass of water.
