Sunday 21st of June: The Grantchester Crawl

Meeting at the Green Man from 3pm, with an optional Queen Edith entry qualification.

3 pubs to visit (plus 4 not in Cambridge):

• The Green Man (55 Trumpington High Street)
• The Tally Ho (77 Trumpington High Street, near Beverley Way)
• The Lord Byron (22 Church Lane, Trumpington)
• The Green Man (59 High Street, Grantchester)
• The Red Lion (33 High Street, Grantchester)
• The Rupert Brooke (2-4 Broadway, Grantchester)
• The Blue Ball (57 Broadway, Grantchester)

Note: The last four pubs are in Grantchester, and outside the city limits of Cambridge. They are therefore not strictly part of the crawl, but we usually visit them by way of celebration.

Directions:

• The Green man is on the east side of Trumpington High Street, which is on the left as you head out of Cambridge.
• Turn left out of the Green Man, south along the High Street. The Tally Ho is on the left, a little way down.
• From the Tally Ho, cross the High Street and turn right, the head left into Church Lane. The Lord Byron is on the right.
• Prepare for a long walk to celebrate finishing the crawl of genuine Cambridge pubs. Turn right out of the Lord Byron, southwest down Church Lane, then west on Grantchester Road. Stay on Grantchester Road as it winds and turns into Mill Way, then Grantchester High Street. As the road splits, the Green Man is on the right.
• From the Green Man, follow round to the right. The Red Lion is very nearby on the left.
• Turn right out of the Red Lion and return to the High Street, then turn right. Follow the High Street round to the right as it turns north into Broadway. The Rupert Brooke is on the right.
• Turn right out of the Rupert Brooke north along Broadway. The Blue Ball Inn is on the left.
• To head back to town, turn left out of the Blue Ball, north along Broadway. Broadway becomes Grantchester Road; veer right at Selwyn Road and left onto King's Road to cut a corner before hitting Barton Road (this is famously a long walk and typically an opportunity for singing rude songs). Veer right on Barton Road, follow around to the left for Newnham Road, cross the roundabout and turn right at Silver Street to get back to the town centre. Alternatively, it is possible to walk back from Grantchester alongside the river, if one prefers stepping in cow pats and cattle grids in the dark to being run over. There is no obvious curry opportunity, but there's no way go get back in time for one either - the only option is a taxi from the Blue Ball.

Saturday 20th of December: The Hot Green Beany

Meeting at the Granta at 7pm (because the Red Bull has defied tradition and removed its trivia machine)

Note: This crawl does not count towards the official crawl list. It is a traditional seasonal crawl of trivia machines, finishing in a curry house - likely the Curry King - and with a chicken jalfrezi ("what are all these hot green beany things?"). It is fairly traditional for most people to ignore tradition and not actually have a jalfrezi. Winnings traditionally go towards the curry fund. Traditionally (but a tradition that is occasionally broken) there are no winnings.

The Mitre is on the far side of the road. The trivia machine is near the rear door on the far side of the bar from the main entrance, unless it's very near the front (both locations recently used).
• Take the back exit out of the Mitre and enter the Baron of Beef. The trivia machine, if present, is near the rear door.
• Turn right out of the main entrance to the Baron and cross the road. The Pickerel is on the left after the bridge, opposite Magdalene. The trivia machine is straight ahead as you enter the door, out of sight of the bar.

Turn left at Fair Street and veer right onto New Square to get to Emmanuel Road (veer left for the town centre), or continue to Jesus Terrace, Clarendon Street and Park Terrace for the southern part of town. Curry is harder - one option is to turn down East Road at the roundabout, continue alongside Parkside and turn right at Regent Street for the Gandhi. The other is to turn left off Newmarket Road at the lights onto Coldham's Lane, then right onto New Street, left at Sturton Street, right at the end (Hooper Street) then immediately left onto Kingston Street, then at the junction with Mill Road turn right and visit either the Curry Queen or (farther down) the Kohinoor; in this case, continue down Mill Road to get to the centre of town - cross Parker's Piece diagonally and turn right onto St Andrew's Street.

• The Carlton Arms (53 Carlton Way)

Directions:

Please note: Arbury has historically been home to a disproportionate amount of anti-university feeling. While this is not as pervasive as was once the case, it is best not to aggravate matters: please go out of your way to be on your best behaviour, and it may help not to be too obviously-connected with the university (e.g. avoid wearing college scarves or Quarter Blues).

• Make your way to the Fort St George. This is on the river at the corner of Midsummer Common near Victoria Avenue, by the pedestrian bridge which links to Pretoria Road, and at the junction of several paved paths across Midsummer Common. It is traditional to do this crawl on November 5th, which provides the opportunity to watch the fireworks on Midsummer Common. In this case, it is a good idea to get beer at the Fort St George early - there is likely to be a long queue - and be near the pedestrian bridge when the fireworks finish, so as to beat the rush.
• Turn left (southeast) out of the pub, away from Victoria Avenue, and cross the Cam at the pedestrian bridge. Walk up Pretoria Road, turn left at the end onto Hamilton Road, and follow it round towards Chesterton Road. The Old Spring is on the left. After fireworks, this will be heaving, so don't go in.
• Turn northeast along Chesterton Road (away from the Mitcham's Corner one-way system), cross Chesterton Road at the pedestrian crossing and turn left down George Street. Continue to the T-junction with Milton Road (a main road) and turn right. Cross Milton Road and follow it northeast, crossing the roundabout junction with Elizabeth Way. Continue past the traffic lights at Arbury Road, and the Milton Arms is on the left (northwast) side of Milton Road.
• Turn left out of the Milton Arms and continue northeast down Milton Road. Continue to the major crossroads with King's Hedges Road. The Golden Hind is opposite, on the north corner of the crossroads.
• Turn right out of the Golden Hind, up King's Hedges Road, and cross over. Turn left (southwest) onto Campkin Road, following it round the bend as it turns northwest. The Jenny Wren is on the right (northeast), just before the junction with St Kilda Road.
• Turn right out of the Jenny Wren, down Campkin Road. You then have two choices:
  • The simpler route is to continue down Campkin Road and turn right at the second mini-roundabout, up Northfields Avenue. Stay on Northfields Avenue as it veers northeast. Just after the roundabout with Cameron Road, the Ship is on the right, with the entrance near Northfields Avenue.
  • The shorter route is to turn right off Campkin Road up the pedestrian route from the car park near St Kilda Avenue. Follow the path as directly northwest as possible, keeping buildings to the left (and mostly open ground to the right). When there are trees instead of buildings to the left, follow the path through them to the left (west, then southwest) and continue where the path rejoins the road (Cameron Road). Continue southwest down Cameron Road; The Ship is on the right, near the roundabout junction with Northfields Avenue; you will probably have to walk to the northwest edge of the building to find an entrance. If looking at this on an on-line map, it's worth using a satellite view, because the pedestrian route is separate from roads. It is inadvisable to take this route except in a group, especially after dark - it is poorly-lit and hidden from the road, and Arbury has traditionally contained a population with some anti-university feeling, so it is unwise for lone students to expose themselves to danger. It is also easy to get lost in this back route. If not in a group, the Northfields Avenue route is safer.
• From The Ship, turn left (southwest) down Northfields Avenue past the roundabout with Cameron Road, then veer right at the next roundabout onto Roxburgh Road. Turn immediately left (souwthwest) into another part of Roxburgh Road and continue southwest to the end, where it becomes Hanson Court. A footpath will take you to the Nicholson Way, which you should cross over to reach the (parallel) Arbury Road. Cross Arbury Road and turn right (northwest), then take the next left onto Mere Way at the roundabout. Continue southwest along Mere Way, over a roundabout, as it turns into Carlton Road. The Carlton Arms is some way down, on the right (northwest) side after Perse Way (on the right) and Metcalfe Road (on the left). If you reach Gilbert Road, you've gone too far.
• To get back to the centre of town, turn right from the Carlton Arms and walk to the crossroads with Gilbert Road. Turn left, southeast, down Gilbert Road, then right at the bottom, which will turn you southwest along Milton Road. Walk to Mitcham's Corner and cross southwards to Victoria Avenue (the main road across the river). Walk down Victoria Avenue, then take the second, third or fourth exit from the roundabout to get to Short Street (for Emmanuel etc.), King Street (past the St Radegund, for Christ's, King's, etc.) or Jesus Lane (Jesus). If heading to the north of town (Murray Edwards, Fitz, Churchill, etc.) you may prefer to turn right at the crossroads between Carlton Way and Gilbert Road, then left onto Histon Road, which will take you to the Histon Road/Huntingdon Road/Castle Street/Victoria Road junction. One can cut a corner by continuing from Carlton Way to Stretten Avenue instead of turning at Gilbert Road, then veering left at Harvey Goodwin Avenue and then right at Victoria Road, but this is a less main road route if navigating alone. There is no curry opportunity obviously close to the Carlton Arms - the Maharajah on Castle Hill or the Curry King at Jordans Yard near Bridge Street (between the Mitre and the Baron of Beef) may be the nearest options.

Directions:

• Make your own way to Quinn's. Downing Street runs past the south side of the New Museum Site and the north side of the Downing Site, between Pembroke College and Emmanuel College. (Note: Downing College is not on Downing Street.) Quinn's is on the north side of the road, between Corn Exchange Street and St Tibb's Row.
• Turn left (east) out of Quinn's and walk down Downing Street to St Andrew's Street (opposite Emmanuel College). Turn right and walk south, down St Andrew's Street. The Castle is on the right, so stay on the west side of the road.
• Turn right out of the Castle; the Regal is immediately next door.
• Turn right out of the Regal; the Fountain is on the same side of the road, opposite the University Arms.
• Turn right out of the Fountain and cross the road. Continue South along Regent Street past Pizza Hut. Turn left to the alley between City Kebab and the Cheque Centre. The Avery is at the end.
• From the Avery, take the exit onto Parker's Piece and join the nearest spur of tarmac (the South one). Head north past Reality Checkpoint, and cross Parkside when you reach it. Continue down Melbourne Place (a little alleyway by as school). The Cricketers is on the right where Melbourne Place joins Prospect Row.
• Turn right (north-east) out of the Cricketers and walk alongside the pub to Prospect Row. The Elm Tree is diagonally to the left, roughly north of the Cricketers.
• Head diagonally right out of the Elm Tree down Prospect Row (a road navigable by cars), across the side of the Cricketers (not back down Melbourne Place). The Free Press is on the left (north-east) side of the road.
• To get back to the centre of town, turn right out of the Free Press, turn left at the Cricketers, cross the road and head straight along Park Terrace. Turn right onto St Andrew's Street (unless you live in Downing, in which case turn left), and you'll be in the centre of town.
