July 2024. Rossett. Wrexham. From trips to Wales past to trips to Wales present, and finally some new Welsh GBG24 ticks. I’d forgot how close that border was, though the route below has a detour through League of Gentleman Hadfield at the moment. A motorway from Sheffield to Stockport through the Snake Pass is surely… Continue reading HYDES IN POSH WREXHAM

WRECSAM WITHOUT A FILM CREW
August 2023. “Greater” Wrexham/Wrecsam. Yes ! A trip to the Hollywood village that is “New” Wrexham. Never mind Ryan Reynolds (who ?) and Rob McElhenny (who ?), the appeal of Wrexham can be best gauged in the recent tour dates for my favourite Canadian songstress of 2023; “Haley why you spend all your time in… Continue reading WRECSAM WITHOUT A FILM CREW
NO DUFF (AT) THE MAGIC DRAGON
A flying visit to Wrexham/Wrecsam, whose latest attempt to join the Hollywood elite in League 2 (Barrow, Sutton, Rochdale) came to a stuttering halt at the weekend, leaving Stockport favourites for automatic promotion. I’m sure Mudgie will be delighted. I was almost as delighted to finally get the Magic Dragon Tap ticked, though leaving one… Continue reading NO DUFF (AT) THE MAGIC DRAGON
WREXHAM WONDERS
Happy Doom Bar Day. I thought you’d like to see Mrs RM’s coping mechanism, which at least supports a beleaguered and misunderstood homebrewer from rural Aberdeenshire. My coping strategy is this blog, and the Jamaican patties our local shop has started stocking. More increasingly random highlights packages from underrated towns for you. I chose Wrexham/Wrecsam… Continue reading WREXHAM WONDERS
WREXHAM AFTER THE DEJECTION
I arrived in Wrexham/Wrecsam to find the locals shuffling down the High Street, still in a state of dejection after Danny Holland’s ill-deserved winner kept them in Non-league for a 43rd successive season. Though still a step higher than Chester. What a goal from @EastleighFC's Danny Hollands last night 😱 pic.twitter.com/rzeLuUwuh0 — Football Carpets (@FootyCarpets)… Continue reading WREXHAM AFTER THE DEJECTION
NO TRAVAILS IN TREVALYN
The Beer Guide seems determined to promote lovely Wrexham’s pub tourist credentials. Another GBG packed with new entries in the posh Cheshire-lite villages to the north and the grittier hills towards Mold. I had the joy of a walk from the bus stop at Rossett through tiny lanes with giant hedges. A quiet, straggling, bucolic… Continue reading NO TRAVAILS IN TREVALYN
NO WHOOSH ! IN WREXHAM
Regular readers will know how much I love Ember Inns and modernised gastropubs, so imagine my deep joy at finding a new GBG specimen of each just outside of “Wonderful Wrexham” . I’m saving that blogpost title for a visit to their next Guide newbie, probably something called Honky Tonks offering “live” Wrexham Lager. Wrexham… Continue reading NO WHOOSH ! IN WREXHAM
PUB SURVIVORS IN RHOSLLANERCHRUGOG
A few short posts to wrap up a successful incursion into North East Wales (an entirely GBG construct), as you can see here; Looking at the gaps, you may surmise I’m leaving the best ’till last, and you’d be right. I’ll be off to Rhyl for it’s wonderful sunsets and famed professional drinkers later in… Continue reading PUB SURVIVORS IN RHOSLLANERCHRUGOG
