What is the route for it? Is there a standard route for it? Is there even 12 pubs left open in Athlone town centre! Might do it some other day.

Usually done in majority by Ericsson staff

Starts in Dans circa 3 or 4 o clock

Think the left bank is next (Seans-Snug-Castle)

Walk to bridge (Cearnog popped into en route) then Gerties...after that it gets hazy but if you get that far, the fellow xmas jumper wearers should be able guide you

My 12 would be

1. Nuts
2. The Local
3. 41's - Danger is my middle name.
4. harveys
5. Gerties
6. Seans

8. The Snug
