Vintage SELNEC bus in Stockport

Seeing a vintage bus in Stockport.

I saw this Leyland National vintage bus - in SELNEC (South East Lancashire North East Cheshire) livery - on the A6 Wellington Road South in Stockport this afternoon.

SELNEC was the Passenger Transport Executive in the area from 1969 until it was renamed Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE) in 1974.

The photo below shows one of the current Bee Network buses on the other side of the road.

Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE) itself ended in 2011 when it became part of Transport for Greater Manchester.

The last of the seaside courses on the trip, and the penultimate course visited, was the 12-hole Crazy Golf course on the promenade in Ilfracombe, Devon.

The course was the 660th visited on our travels.

Minigolf tournaments at Clambers Adventure Golf in Hastings

A look back at the 2010 BMGA Players Championships and BMGA British Open in Hastings, East Sussex.

I competed on the British Minigolf Association tour between 2007 and 2015 and many of those contests took place in the seaside town of Hastings in East Sussex.

In 2010 the BMGA Players Championships and BMGA British Open were held at Clambers Adventure Golf in White Rock Gardens (aka Planet Hastings).

I finished tied for 11th place in the 29 strong field of the BMGA Players Championships and 28th place of 56 in the BMGA British Open.

Clambers Adventure Golf is sadly now a lost course.

Where Clambers Adventure Golf sat was once a model village. After it closed it became an outdoor laser tag arena!
