Hohtogolf West Coast Helsinki in Finland

A look at Hohtogolf West Coast Helsinki in Finland.


A big thank you to my friend, minigolf rival and team-mate Kevin Moseley for sending over photos of the Hohtogolf West Coast Helsinki indoor minigolf course from his recent trip to Helsinki, Finland.

A quick look shows "Hohtogolf" translates as "Glitter Golf". There doesn't look to be much glitter in that sh...portable toilet hole!

The rest of the layout looks shiny though.

Best Price in Clacton & Beyond!

These would've come in handy in the great toilet roll shortage of 2020.

The indoor venue is home to an 18-hole Crazy Golf course.

There was something fishy about the loop-di-loop on hole 17

Last year we visited a total of 82 new courses and played 36 of them.

So far this year we've visited five courses and played one of them.

Including my brother Christopher's own mini-tour of courses over the years we've been to a total of 965 courses.

When our travels began in 2006 there were around 600 courses in the UK. We estimate there are now 1,200 courses in the UK, with new places to play opening all the time.

Earlier this year the team at Ghetto Golf opened their third indoor minigolf venue with an 18-hole course at Hoults Yard in Byker, Newcastle.

We swung by for a look on Saturday afternoon and found the course to be proving very popular.

Ghetto Golf is something a bit different

The UV areas of the course are my favourite.

The graffiti artists certainly like retro games and 80's pop culture.

Bit rude!

Something is definitely wrong with this lavvy hole!

I'm not sure you'll be feeling too flush after putting into this pan!

Crazy Cave Shooting Gallery in Stourport on Severn

Spotting a Crazy Cave Shooting Gallery at Playland Fun Park in Stourport on Severn.

I'm a big fan of the traditional seaside shooting shack and so I was pleased to find one I'd never seen before at Playland Fun Park in Stourport. We were in town to play the Crazy Golf courses and noticed the shooting gallery between the two kiosks. It was quite different to the classic 'Old Zeke' style we normally see on on our travels.

It's not a true shooting shack unless it's got a lavvy to unlock!

For a landlocked town Stourport on Severn has a lot of amusements, minigolf courses and attractions! We're looking forward to another visit to the town.

Loo-town

This evening I popped into Luton town centre to collect a parcel and decided to park up in my old stomping ground of High Town.

Driving along Havelock Road I saw this most peculiar sight!

There wasn't even a building site nearby. Perhaps the lavvy had just been dumped

Are the council calling for people to recycle EVERYTHING now! Or has someone flytipped an actual portable toilet at the recycling point?

There's a dearth of public conveniences in Luton, perhaps this is the future...
