Wishing to make the most of some rare February sunshine, the Bus Pass Bandit sets his sights upon Solihull Borough by picking out four prime pubs around Knowle and Dorridge...
A scenic view from the centre of Knowle with hints of the Parish Church in the background.
The first drinking stop is the Red Lion on the High Street, operated by Ember Inns.
A good setting for an opening half of Purity UBU.
Also in Knowle is the Ale Rooms micropub.
Here we have shiny leather chairs and a very tasty Holden's Toffee Porter.
Onwards to Dorridge next where the Forest Hotel can be found opposite the railway station.
Time to enjoy some Fuller's Grand Slam in the garden.
The Railway Inn, however, is nowhere near the station...
.. but does have 'Side Pocket for a Toad' from Tring Brewery.
After that amphibious encounter, the Bandit retires back to Dorridge Station for his train home.
