The problem with "central" is that it really only works for the good people of Witham
EG: The Hurdlemakers is 14.3km from Spa Road and the Rose & Crown is 15.7km.
For Psyclist the Hurdlemakers is 44.6km and for me it is 32.5km. The Rose & Crown is 28.2km for Psyclist and 46.2km for me.
I think the sweet spot for Psyclist and me would be the Cross Keys at Notley (not suggesting we go there) - 34.3km and 33.3km respectively but only 4.8km for the Withamites.
At this time of year even the Spiritual Home is a bit far west for me - 44.3km.
I will give this week a miss and think about the Endeavour next week (41km with no train).
