I had never been to John O'Groats so thought i'd do the trip to Land's End visiting mostly new pubs and breweries along the way. It took three days to get up there and eight days to get to Lands End.
This was not a visit to the best pubs, but to pubs I had not been to before, although some cracking pubs were found along the way.
At John O' Groats with the St Austell pump clip that travelled with me.
Landlord signs and dates the St Austell pump clip.
