Yates The official meeting time was midday but some of us met up earlier for an excellent breakfast at Yates. The rest of the crew wandered in around midday and enjoyed sampling beers from the available range: Salcombe Shingle Bay, Abbot Ale and Doom Bar.. A few diverted to The Green Ginger, a Wetherspoon's outlet, this being the first day of their Spring Festival. There were 7 beers available however non of them were from the festival list as far as I could see..
We soon moved on to The Hole In The Wall, a few minutes walk away. This turned out to be a gem of a pub with Dartmoor IPA, Jail Ale and Exeter Ferryman available and in fine form.
The next pub, the Devon Arms was next door, so we all found it OK!. There was just one ale available Bays Topsail.
The next pub involved catching a bus up to Babbacombe and the Buccaneer Inn, overlooking the sea. Tribute and Proper Job were on offer here.
The next pub was Molloy's but it was now 3pm and faced with what turned out to be a 2 hour bus journey I decided to head for home, arriving in Kingswear in plenty of time to sample the newly reopened Steam Packet and Ship Inn. An ideal end to an interesting day in an area I'm not particularly familiar with.
