Unique vintage transport and an award winning mutt pub
Meet BRUCE , a scruffy yappy , stubborn CANINE of very little brain and me , rach – 50 plus rotund , real ale loving , long suffering owner of said mutt !!
4PP is a blog of our days out , usually a bit of fresh air and a very steady wander followed by a few quality beverages in interesting pubs , micros and breweries ,where both humans and canines , even delinquent terriers are truly welcomed ! Most of our travels are in Gods Own County of Yorkshire but occasionally we may stray to the dark side and into Lancashire and beyond ! Hopefully the site provides a useful(ish) resource and a bit of light entertainment for anyone who might enjoy similar type expeditions with their trusty(ish) furry companion. You can read more about us and the blogs background here
No freebies or paid promotion (save the odd pint ) is involved in this site, unlike lots of ‘dog blogs’ , it’s essentially just a sad hobby site, so a nod ,either by a social media follow or by comment, to show that someone is at least reading the thing would be appreciated !! Any inspired suggestions for destinations for us to test out or perhaps would like to embarrass yourself totally and submit your own day out musings then don’t hesitate to get in touch.
As well as our travels on a serious note I hope 4PP can show the real positives of taking on a ‘second hand mutt’ like Bruce. Up and down the country there are thousands of dogs looking for new homes not all perfectly behaved or ridiculously cute and cuddly but all in need of a chance of a new sofa to monopolise .Feeling particularly generous and have enjoyed the site ? A donation to our local dog rescue organisation to help less fortunate mutts would be awesome!
Cheers !!!
4 PAWS PUBS DAYS OUT ALWAYS
Include a visit to a canine friendly pub -and will normally involve the imbibing of at least one delicious traditional hand pulled British Ale !
Are accessible by some form of Public Transport = err see the above !! (travel info /links can be found on each post as a guide )
Are lead- friendly – not everyone’s best friend has the recall of a Crufts Obedience Champ and we like to be inclusive !
Are cheap ‘n’ cheerful and a tad random – we don’t stick to one sort of day out – countryside , coast or urban – some are a success others not so , non cost the earth – variety and all that s*** !
4 PAWS PUBS DAYS OUT NEVER
Are ridiculously strenuous – its a day out with a gentle(ish) perambulate and some light ‘refreshments ,not a sodding route march.
Are child friendly – we’re middle aged with an occasionally grumpy terrier – sorry but that’s just how it is.
Are ‘Written’ by the dog’ – Bruce is a dog (no s** Sherlock !) who understands ‘walk‘ , ‘dinner’ and ‘bed ‘and very sporadically ‘sit’ and ‘come’ .Make a blog post from that if you will !
Replace a detailed route guide or serious beer blog – you can find these all over the net written by folk far far more obsessive and at times far more boring than me.
