Days out
‘On The Buses’ for
a real pint of ale
There was no worry about combining drinking and
driving when the Island’s Classic Buses, Beer and
Walks Weekend took to the roads again in October.
With 87 buses running 14 routes, it was a great
opportunity for hundreds of enthusiasts to leave
their cars behind, ride vintage buses free of charge
and visit pubs across the Island.
Held for the fourth year running, the event was
run by the Isle of Wight branch of Campaign for
Real Ale (CAMRA) together with the Isle of Wight
Bus Museum.
There was also a series of organised walks,
including historic beer walks around a number of
towns. Asked if they’ll be doing it again next year,
the organisers said: “You bet!”
