Excellent, I've heard about these at Donny Dome since getting back into Star Wars collecting... think I might have a stroll along to this one. Thanks for posting, Mr Jabbawokkie- I see you're in Barnsley, I'm just up the road from you in Ackworth!

South Hiendley? Nice one, mate. I often take the hound to Wintersett for a walk, but it's more of an excuse to call in at The Anglers Retreat once we're done :wink: Great pub, there's not many that accept dogs nowadays, and although it does have a 'wet dog' aroma, I'll gladly drink in one of these original public houses than a themed 'Witherspoon' any day.
Drop me a line if you want to meet up for a chin-wag about vintage Star Wars over a decent pint of stout.

Is that near Knottingley? I have relations there and recognise some of those places but not sure where from.

It is, Richard- Ackworth is about a 10 minute drive from Knottingley. Give me a shout next time you're down this way, and I'll take you to the 'wet dog aroma pub' for a pint or two- you'll love it, that I am sure

Great stuff, give me a shout- and bring your German Shepherd along if you're able and we'll have a good walk with a decent pint as our goal.Cc4rhu said:
Spaniels? Love 'em, real characters. My sister's got a Brittany Spaniel, he's an old chap now, but still gets mental with the rest of them from time to time!jabbawokkie said:
I've got a Whippet myself, a little rescue number- I'm guessing she's about 9/10 years old, but she can still bolt along when a rabbit or a squirrel catches her eye. She was after a fox just the other day when it appeared from a hedgerow... no chance of calling the hound back, she was off. Thankfully she didn't catch it, I didn't fancy dealing with the aftermath :?
If you want to meet up for a walk with the dogs then give me a shout- Wentbridge is a favourite walk of mine, and the Blue Bell was the first pub my dad took me to- love it there. Nostell Priory is another good one, and the Spread Eagle in Wragby (a fine Samuel Smiths pub) also welcomes dogs- and a pint of stout costs something daft like £1.16!

Apologies for turning this thread into a 'Good Pub' guide under the pretense of taking the dogs for a walk!

Chaps, I'm planning to pop along to Doncaster for this, would be cool to meet up. I went to the one in Hull a few weeks ago and it was good fun, lots of costumers and friendly folks. The Vintage goodies were a little thin on the ground but I did root up a few juicy loosies!
