Cherry Blossoms and Spring

It's so nice to see the Cherry Blossoms in bloom.

We're looking forward to seeing more while they last. And then spending as much time as possible out and about in the (hopefully) nice sunny summer weather this year.

Abandoned Crazy Golf in Victoria Park, Glasgow

A look back at a derelict minigolf course at Victoria Park in Glasgow, Scotland.

We visited Glasgow back in May 2009 and one of the courses we found there was this abandoned 18-hole outdoor Crazy Golf course in Victoria Park.

Even 16 years on it's still one of the strangest courses we've seen on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

The course was in a distinctive amphitheatre layout and is laid out in a fair bit of space.

Looking for further information about the course doesn't reveal too much more information. It was built in the 1970's but has been derelict since the 1980's!

The approach to the course area

We wonder if any readers have memories of the course being open, and perhaps playing it?
