A beer lover who will visit all 875 Wetherspoon pubs bought a plane ticket to complete his challenge – because the boozer is in Gatwick Airport. David Bingham, 60, has spent four years enjoying the “longest pub crawl in history” often travelling thousands of miles every month.
And he estimates his final tab for his epic mission is close to £30,000, including travel fares, drinks and overnight stays. He will celebrate the end of his 875-pub challenge when he sinks a pint at The Flying Horse on Wednesday.
The boozer is after the security barrier at Gatwick, meaning David has had to buy an airline ticket before being allowed inside. The retired forklift driver said: “The cheapest air ticket I could get was to Shannon in Ireland which doesn’t have any Wetherspoons but that doesn’t matter because I’ll have completed the challenge before I get there.
