Stuck in a pub for three nights!

As long as there's enough beer and plenty of bar snacks, I don't see it as much of a hardship.

What a dreadful ordeal. Similar happened to me at The Plume of Feathers in Princetown on Dartmoor. Sunday night was folk music night, and snow was forecast, so I think we went up there in the hope of being cut off. Got back to Plymouth 36 hours later :lol:

Britain's highest pub is only 1,732ft above sea level? I would have though there would be some in the highlands that would be above that.

It does sound like a good time was had by all.

I think it’s described as England’s highest pub rather than Britain’s. Anyway they must have thought they’d died and gone to heaven! :agree: EricT

Or at least 1,732ft closer to it Eric.

I was stuck in a pub for 5years. Never had a day off in all that time. Many people dream of owning a country pub, but the reality is somewhat different.

Sold it at a good profit, and was glad to wave it goodbye. However, it remained our local for another 15 years before we moved back to Surrey.

:cheers:

Ah, but in the highlands there are valleys in between, and that's where the pubs are. ;)
