Saturday 8th July 2023 A Tower Trot & Southwark Stroll
Tour guide Geoff Castro organises long distance exercise for our members, forcing us to walk between pubs. In 2013 this was 10 pubs (ex;cluding the river bus!) . For 2014 "Our Mutual Friend" Geoff had "Great Expectations" for the London Wolves walk on a tour of Dickens' London For 2015 we expect ed to encounter the supernatural on Hampstead Heath while Clerkenwell was the location in 2016. 2017 tiok us to the Meridian and 2018 was a world cup year in Wolfie’s den, 2019 focused on Naked Ladies and Twickers but Covid postponed 2020’s visit to Bermondsey until release from lockdown in 2021. 2022 found us deep in Wetlands before more horrors (and rain) came to the Tower and Southwark in 2023.
For 2015 we expect to encounter the supernatural - Geoff writes
Join us and follow in the footsteps of Ed Miliband who, on his election trail, took a stroll on Hampstead Heath in order to meet up with a few "ordinary" people. No, not the Wolves London brigade as there is nothing "ordinary" about us! Remember Gareth (or was it Colin?), the software engineer, Xiomara, the chef who could not afford afford to go to college and so worked in a pub and Beatrice and Helen - two students off for an open air swim who were hoping to meet Benedict Cumberbatch but bumped into Ed instead?
Although I cannot guarantee a meeting with Ed or any of his "ordinary" acquaintances, I can guarantee a good walk, a few decent ales and a visit to some of London's most haunted pubs where you are more likely to meet up with the ghost of a doctors wife murdered by her husband and bricked up in the basement of the "William lV", the phantom waitress at "The Holly Bush Inn", or the ghost of Dick Turpin at "The Spaniards Inn"! See the tomb of John Constable and wander the churchyard where Bram Stoker placed the vault that housed the undead Lucy Westenra in "Dracula".
Indeed, you might be lucky enough to take part in "The Swearing of the Horns" at the "Flask" in Highgate where participants kiss a pair of stag's antlers and swear to drink only strong ale! They also have the right to kiss the most beautiful girl in the room!
Join us if you dare, on Saturday 27th June, by meeting at "The Gatehouse" in Highgate - itself haunted by the ghost of Mother Marnes, an old lady murdered for her money inside the original pub - at 11am for breakfast and a 12 noon start.
