By Jennifer Harby & BBC Radio DerbyA man is due to celebrate the end of a pub pilgrimage this week, when his mission to visit every Wetherspoon in Britain and Ireland concludes.
David Bingham has visited 875 of the chain's venues since 2019, including more than 40 that have now closed. He said he had booked a flight from the South Terminal at Gatwick Airport, which will allow him to tick off the last one on his list - the Flying Horse, which is located after security.He began his challenge in 2019 and says he likes to have a drink in most of the pubs
Mr Bingham, 60, from West Hallam in Derbyshire, said he also enjoyed trainspotting and following Burton Albion, and had taken up his challenge while pursuing his other hobbies.His partner Una Cooper bought him a directory of the pubs and he began ticking them off."The one in Ramsgate [in the Royal Victoria Pavilion] is my favourite because the history behind that building is incredible.
"But there are five police stations, there are churches, there's chapels, there's a tram depot, there's a fire station."It's a history lesson."
