The Canton Mile

Wed Sep 22, 2010 1:35 pm

Has anyone here ever completed/attempted/failed the Canton Mile??

I haven't yet, but thinking of doing it for my birthday this year in November. I think this is the correct route:

Ty-Pwll Coch
Victoria Park
The Clive
Duke Of Clarance
The Maltings
The Insole
Lansdowne
Butchers Arms
Corporation
Cross Vaults
The Canton
Goscombe
Ivor Davies
Admiral Napier
Foresters
Kings Castle
Robins Bar
Westgate

Any more that you can think of, or any to avoid?? Thoughts please...

The idea is to drink in all of the pubs NOT RUN pass them all.

Out of those, robins bar. maltings and ty pwll coch are closed. I did it for my birthday a few weeks back, it was a top day. If your planning on including out of the way pubs like butchers arms and the lansdowne then you'll have to start pretty early
