Strawberry Falls Adventure Golf at The Cheshire Ice Cream Farm

Strawberry Falls Adventure Golf course at The Cheshire Ice Cream Farm.

Emily's friend, colleague and minigolf rival Darren Howe has come up trumps again as he gave us a scorecard from the Strawberry Falls Adventure Golf course at The Cheshire Ice Cream Farm from his recent visit.

Strawberry Falls Adventure Golf is one of our new local courses but we haven't had time to visit The Cheshire Ice Cream Farm since we moved to Stockport last summer.

Darren tells us the course was incredibly busy on his visit. That's a good sign.

The Strawberry Falls Adventure Golf course looks great - with some oversized ice cream-related obstacles and theming.

Check out The Cheshire Ice Cream Farm's website for more information, opening times and prices.

Darren recently played the Adventure Golf course at Center Parcs in Sherwood Forest. Check out the post from his visit for more photos.

Revisiting Hastings Pier

We recently visited Hastings for the first time since 2015 and it was great to have a walk on the new pier. We'd only ever been on it once before back in 2008.

We were really impressed with what has been built following the fire which almost totally destroyed it in 2010.

The end of the pier is a nice wide-open space. We've visited a lot of piers on our travels and Hastings Pier is certainly different to most

We visited the pier just after the Hastings Pier Yarn Bomb had opened!

There was a lot of knitted bunting

The knitting got almost everywhere

While we were on the pier on Sunday we spotted an ice cream cart going round offering free knitted ice creams! They were gluten free to boot

Crazy Golf at Daisy Made Ice Cream in Skellingthorpe, Lincs

Crazy Golf at the Daisy Made Ice Cream Farm in Skellingthorpe, Lincolnshire.

We started out on our big minigolf and seaside roadtrip around Lincolnshire (and a little bit of Norfolk) on Wednesday 18th May 2011 hoping to have as much fun on our visits to as many seasides, minigolf courses and amusements as possible in the five days we had.

In total we visited ten seasides, 40 minigolf courses (playing 24 of them), umpteen amusement arcades, a fair few Hill Billy Shooting Shacks and one Laser Quest!

The first stop on our 460 mile roadtrip was to Daisy Made Ice Cream in Skellingthorpe, Lincs! The centre had a 12-hole farm-themed Crazy Golf course, which was very good to play indeed. They also had a Drive-Thru Ice Cream Parlour!

The course location was a tip-off via twitter, from Roland Overvoorde at the Canal View B&B in Saxilby near Lincoln.

The course is a B-Type of Swedish Felt Minigolf and was in great condition. The staff at Daisy Made Ice Cream were very friendly and we had a great round, despite the rainy weather conditions (the only poor weather on the whole trip).

In our Irregular Mini Golf Tour Match-up...I beat Emily 24(par) to 30(+6).
