1st March 2019 – Wigan.
A delayed train to Manchester led to us missing the proposed train to Wigan.
20 minutes later than intended The Central Station pub provided a cracking start where a few pork pies set us up for the day.
A free vintage bus took us to the Wigan Beer Festival. Great selection of light and dark ales available along with pies and black peas.
We walked to the Tap’n’Barrell as the return shuttle bus was full.
Next was Docs Symposium.
We made the India Lounge by 630pm but very slow service marred the event. The food however was excellent when it finally arrived.
We made the 930 trains with 10 minutes to spare. Jacko and Bill enjoyed reminiscing their old college days.
