Last September we reached another BIG minigolf milestone as we played at our 500th miniature golf course since our travels began in September 2006.

The 18-hole indoor Mini Golf course at Holey Molies Leisure Complex in Skelton-in-Cleveland, Saltburn-by-the-Sea was the 845th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 807th we've been to in the British Isles.

It was brilliant to finally play the Holey Molies minigolf course as we'd heard so much about it since it opened.

One of the main things we'd heard was that the Mini Golf course at Holey Molies Leisure Complex boasts the 'World's Longest Mini Golf Hole' - measuring in at 264 feet!

Hole 1 - the longest minigolf hole in the world. You have to start off upstairs, teeing-off up a ramp and then the ball is carried along the long viaduct before being deposited on the green

Foot Pool at Pontin's Prestatyn Sands

Playing another new game on our travels.

We recently stayed at Pontin's Prestatyn Sands for a Holiday on the Buses fanclub event and while there we got to play a new game - Foot Pool!

It was great fun and an interesting mix of the two sports.
