Pub fan David Bingham celebrated completing his mission to visit all 875 Wetherspoon pubs - and says he wants to take boss Tim Martin for a pint. David, 60, has spent four years enjoying the “longest pub crawl in history”, often travelling thousands of miles every month.
His final bar tab for his epic mission is close to £30,000, including travel fares, drinks and overnight stays. On Wednesday he visited the final Spoon's on his list – the Flying Horse at Gatwick Airport – and celebrated with a couple of pints of his favourite Heineken lager.
The boozer is after the security checks at Gatwick, meaning David had to buy an airline ticket before being allowed inside. He paid £18 for the cheapest flight to Shannon in Ireland and mingled with other passengers as he celebrated finishing his remarkable challenge.
