Wallasey Beach Mini Golf - course visited but not played in New Brighton
On Saturday 19th March 2011 we also headed to the Wallasey Beach Mini Golf/Miniature Golf course. The Pitch & Putt layout looked very well tended and the course was open with a number of people enjoying the course.

Ham & Egg Parade in New Brighton!
On the 19th March 2011 we headed to New Brighton, Wirral, to check out the seaside resort and search out some of the town's Crazy & Mini Golf courses. We also found the remnants of the Pier, and perhaps most interestingly, ended up on "Ham and Egg Parade"!

My first-ever Blog post here at The Ham and Egger Files gave an introduction to what a Ham & Egger is! New Brighton's Ham and Egg parade was 'famed' for serving Ham and Eggs to customers in its Tea Rooms, however the area gained a bad reputation for immoral goings-on in these "Tea Rooms", and the situation got so bad that in 1907 the area was demolished and replaced by Victoria Gardens.

Wardown Park in Luton - Changes to the Crazy Golf Course & Ducks Fighting
On the 26th March 2011 we went for a leisurely stroll around Luton's Wardown Park. While there we popped along to check out the Crazy Golf and Mini Golf courses before they re-open for the summer season next weekend.
We noticed that the car park next to the course has been worked on and slightly extended, and the 9th hole of the Crazy Golf course is now very very close to the curb! It used to look like this.
We first played the 9-hole Crazy Golf course on the 5th of May 2007.

An interesting fact about Miniature Golf in Luton is that there has been a course in the same location in Wardown Park since the 19th June 1934!
Wardown Park is always a great spot for some Bird Watching too, and yesterday we spotted some Ducks chilling out on one of the Bowling Greens!

There was also some Duck 'Fighting' going-on on the lake itself!
While in the park we also headed to the Town's Wardown Park Museum to have a look at the 'Luton Photographs' exhibition. It's well worth a look.
