Is approx 25miles too far to go for a pint?

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

I think it depends on what you're driving.... If its a motor you like then the 25 miles is part of the night out right??? I meet up every month with a bunch of mates from a sports car club...its 23 miles each way but I love the drive there and back

I am prepared to travel further. Next time i might even stay sobre long enough to do some off roading.

I blame peer pressure for the early drinking.
