The wind was getting up and the rain was just starting. Warm and comfortable in the bar with just a few diners finishing up and a handful of Saturday afternoon drinkers.

Lunchtime, just before the rugby world cup game being shown on the tele in the bar to the left of the front door. Don't know anything about rugby but the others in seemed to like it and there was also a group of walkers in the other bar.

G2 - Otava IPA4.40GoodHad a G2 beer and the Kent beer fest and it was horrible, this though was really nice. Malty, pale ale. Must give this brewery another go.
