Tips for Travelling

Beer writer and beer traveller Tim Webb gives details of places to stay, means of travel and some handy tips on how to make the most of your stay and enjoy the beer scene on offer without breaking the bank.

Finishing work at lunchtime on Friday and heading off to the airport; fretting in the queue and getting frustrated by small delays; arriving at your destination late and settling for necking a few average beers in triple time in the wrong bar; having to squeeze more places into Saturday and drinking too much; feeling battered on Sunday morning and tolerating lunch, before hitting the Sunday evening airport queues for a regular Monday start is not a great travel experience. So, whenever possible, stretch your timetable a little. Take the slower route. Sift the must-dos from the might-dos. Enjoy the journey as much as the destination. Turn a bash into an experience; you will love it far more.
