The seafront at Rhyl |
Earlier this week I had a brilliant day out at the seaside with my friend and minigolf rival/team-mate Peter 'The Crazy Aced Assassin' Jones.

We had to revisit the Crazy Golf course in Prestatyn |
The weather was wonderful for the time of year and we had a good time exploring the two seaside towns.

On the seafront in Prestatyn |
I've been to both Rhyl and Prestatyn a number of times since 2009 and we stay at Pontin's Prestatyn Sands holiday camp for the
On the Buses fan-club events. However, until my latest visit I hadn't been to Marine Lake - the location of Britain's oldest miniature railway!

The entrance to Marine Lake is also a crossing for the railway |

The lake itself was being drained while we were there |
As it was out of season we didn't get to have a go on the miniature railway or play any of the Crazy Golf courses. Luckily the amusement arcades were open so we were able to have a game of Bowlingo.

I'm already looking forward to my next day out at the Welsh seaside.
