Charity Marathon Pub Crawl
Nicky, Sam and Amanda from NW Keys Ltd (& friends) have completed a
Marathon Pub Crawl raising money for Welsh Air Ambulance and Hope House.
They walked 28 miles in total and drank in 26 pubs over the course of 2 days.
» » IT STARTED EARLY SATURDAY
morning in Llanfynydd, North
Wales. Nicky’s local pub had
opened up especially early and
fuelled them with bacon butties,
fruit smoothies and their first pint/
prosecco! Then they were off!!
On Saturday the route took
them through North East Wales
and into Chester – a total of
16 miles and 16 pubs. Pub to
mileage ratio had been carefully
planned although they were not
prepared for how late it would
take them into the evening to
finish off. Along the way they
even had challenges set by
donating pub goers – Dancing in
the Streets of Chester included!
‘One lady driving into
Chester that night
stopped the car and
donated as she’d
seen them earlier
that morning (back in
Wales) and couldn’t
believe they were
still out walking’
Next day, after an overnight
stay and Bubbly breakfast (Oh
yes they are hard-core) in a hotel
they set off from the outskirts of
Chester. A different route was
planned bringing back them
home to Llanfynydd. On both
days they were joined by friends,
family and representatives of
Hope House at pubs along the
route. On Sunday they walked
12.5 miles and 10 pubs finishing
back at Nick’s local for a late
evening roast dinner!
Throughout both days the girls
were blown away by people’s
generosity and support! Pubs
and drinkers alike bought
rounds of drinks (the drinks
kitty could then be put into the
charity tub) and they put money
into the collection tins for
Hope House. Buses and cars
stopped regularly to donate –
one lady driving into Chester
that night stopped the car and
donated as she’d seen them
earlier that morning (back in
Wales) and couldn’t believe they
were still out walking.
‘the girls
were blown
away by
people’s
generosity
and support!’
