The Derby #Twissup

Here are a few pics from the Derby #Twissup that I took part in yesterday. The itinerary and list of pubs can be found on the Tweetvite page … http://twvt.us/twissup

It started at 10am and finished after 11pm, we traveled by public transport for the whole day and I had a great time with a great bunch of beer appreciators or #Twissartists.

The #Twissup included:

And we managed to grab a drink with @walkerama and @timwhitemore at the end of the night.

The detailed plan:

• Meet at Derby Bus Station for 11:00 on the 14th (Grab a ZIGZAG card £4.60 travel on as many trent barton buses as you like after 9am)
• 11:30 ‘Black Cat’ bus from Station to Heanor (51mins no walk) or 11:45 ‘H1’ bus from City Centre, Corporation Street, J2 (34mins)
