We could have a valley lines pub crawl. One drink per stop and a can in between.

Not a ponty pub crawl then? The market tavern is a great afternoon boozer. If Ponty is a non starter I may not as well bother suggesting Merthyr, Aberdare or any of the more outwardly valley commando towns.
Nevertheless, next time there is a Cardiff meet I'd like to come along. Though I guess the central Cardiff I remember is largely gone, replaced with plastic winebars and themed pubs. It started to go downhill when they shut the Square Club if you ask me.

I would do this for certain sure.
Lets get the timetables out - which is the best line?

This reminds me of a half baked Idea of doind a No.8 pub crawl from Birchgrove to the bay drinking in all pubs en route (excluding St Mary's St) -

except the Rhymney one as it's the greyest place I've ever been.

Aye but with the standard of service that Arriva seem to provide, we'd all end up getting trolleyed on the platform waiting for a fucking train Beckett-stylee, and then dragged off to Cardiff Central for social re-engineering, don't ya think?
Best line is as far as Ponty as this would mean a train every few minutes between Ponty and Cardiff as the Aberdare, Merthyr and Rhondda trains all pass ponty. Which may mean Whetherspoons or Greyhound Ponty (opp station), Probably the Otley in Treforest, Anchor Taffs Well, Not sure whats in Radyr TBH, The Railway llandaf North, then Cathays.
To Start further north would mean say- Conway Aberdare, Queen Vic in Cwmbach, nothing in Fernhill, Cresselli Arms Mountain Ash, Navigation Abercynon then Ponty etc...
Not much on the Merthyr Line. And not too sure about the Rhondda.

Good choice.
Aberdare - the Las Vegas of the Valleys
Radyr - shroom picking nearby.

Well, after several years living in Cardiff, I finally had reason to try to journey up the valleys to Dinas Rhondda station in July, on a sunny Saturday afternoon, on the Treherbert line. Jesus, I was ready for a drink by the time the fecking train came

Glad I went along to this in the end!
I spent the evening in Chapter getting smashed on strong continental lagers, including one that was like drinking the ashes left in the bottom of a bonfire. Just about kept it together enough to have a game of pool in the Foresters, then headed to Callaghans where there was a bizzare old rock and roll band. No band member was under 65 by the looks of it, and there was a buffet!?
Managed to stagger to Gretskis somewhat the worse for ware in time to see ddraig mashing up the place!
Nice one!

It's good to know our brothers and sisters on the Celtic Fringe also have immense hassle organising meetups Still I think you lot are *slightly* better off than us as there are a fair few of you around Cardiff/Swansea.
Trying to organise a Scottish meetup is a logistical nightmare cause of the distances involved... when you have people having to make a 100-mile round trip just to meet up it becomes a nightmare.
Good luck
