This years event took place on Saturday 28th August 2021, starting at midday at The Anchor, 2 Hayfield Road, Jericho.
We visited 9 pubs in Jericho, the Harcourt Arms was closed, before moving down the Woodstock Road and in to town taking on another 10 pubs before finishing at The Blenheim, embracing the St. Aldates Tavern, but missing out The Four Candles and The Head of the River.
As this wasn’t related what’s so ever to the Oxford Monopoly board or attempting 26 pubs, it was just called –
The 2021 Jericho and Some Others Pubs Challenge.
Monopoly Breakfast Club
A few of us visited Browns Café in the Indoor Market at 10:00am, no drinking on an empty stomach.
Then made our way to the Anchor Pub for the 12:00 Start.

As can be seen from the above ‘graphs’, beer drinking is good for the heart and great for exercise. So another great day of exercise.
See everyone next year.
The proposed map of the 2021 route is below, the actual route on the day was a little bit different.
