A CULCHETH bar has been named as one of the cheapest places to get a G&T on the 'ultimate gin bar crawl'.

Gin-loving researchers have mapped out the gin crawl taking in the top rated 100 gin bars in the UK and working out the shortest and most efficient route between them all.

Led by Activity Superstore, the route, including Liberty's Gin Bar in Culcheth, could be completed in just under five days but would cost £1,428.89 - the total price includes purchasing a gin and tonic at every stop, petrol and a ferry over to the final destination in Northern Ireland.

Although not advised – a ‘non-stop’ crawl taking a drink at every bar would take you four days, 19 hours and 11 minutes to complete covering a total distance of 3153.18 miles and would take in a total of 40 UK cities including London, Manchester and Aberdeen.

The most expensive gin during the crawl would be £14 at The Gin Palace near Covent Garden in London while the cheapest is £3.30 at The Butcher and Tonic in Lancaster.

A G&T at Liberty's comes in at £6.

Matt Davis at Activity Superstore said: “The Ultimate Gin Crawl map is a fun way to explore some of the best speciality gin bars in the UK.

"If you’re a gin lover, why not grab a few friends and a designated driver (who isn’t drinking) and start ticking off the list of locations in our guide.

“We do not recommend drinking in all of the 100 gin bars in a short time period and we want to highlight that people must be responsible with their approach.

"We do not expect anyone to try the full ‘crawl’ within 4 days, especially without sleep and food in between."
