Think the "quiet session" before travelling to Salford sounds good.
Incidentally there are "Free" (well voluntary donation) bus transfers from outside the Anvil on Hallgate (opposite where the Job Centre used to be by the Bus Station) and they come back as well.

A mate of mine (not me, OHHHH NO....)  once swamped himself after a night supping that at the Beer Engines fest. Literally too Wobbly to get out of bed and make it to the bog in the night. Disgraceful scenes... |

| If my memory of that brew is correct, they would only serve it in half pint measures, hence the phrase " two halves of Wobbly Bob in that pint glass, pleaaasssshhhheeee", coined by my mate known forever since as Wobbly Bob |
