A bench at the Stockport Pyramid

What a spot for a nice sit down.

The bench is nestled between the Trans Pennine Trail, the River Mersey and the Stockport Pyramid.

Here's a view of it in August 2020.

We've seen a few other benches with social distancing signs and rules about sitting down during the pandemic, including a pair of socially distanced benches in Spinningfields, Manchester and these two in Colne, Lancashire.

I've been documenting the Covid-19 and social distancing signs I've seen during the pandemic here on the blog as well as on my Instagram account.

This doesn't look like the most comfortable bit of seating even at the best of times

We saw two other benches in the time of Coronavirus in Colne.

Hexthorpe Flatts Park Crazy Golf course in Doncaster

Visiting the Crazy Golf course at Hexthorpe Flatts Park in Doncaster.

We had a brilliant weekend in Doncaster earlier this month and while there visited the Crazy Golf courses at Elmfield Park and Hexthorpe Flatts Park in the town.

The 9-hole Crazy Golf course at Hexthorpe Flatts Park in Hexthorpe, Doncaster was the 944th course visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

As it was out-of-season we didn't get a chance to have a game.

We're looking forward to a return visit to Doncaster.

Elmfield Park Crazy Golf course in Doncaster

A visit to the Crazy Golf course at Elmfield Park in Bennetthorpe, Doncaster.

We visited our 943rd miniature golf course while in Doncaster earlier this month.

Unfortunately it was out-of-season so we couldn't game on the Crazy Golf course at Elmfield Park in Bennetthorpe.

Check out videos from our visit to the course.

We had a brilliant time in Doncaster. We've previously played minigolf courses on the outskirts of the town and nearby, but never been to the centre.

We were really impressed by the town's markets and enjoyed visiting a few different pubs. We stayed at the wonderful Earl of Doncaster hotel, a marvellous Art Deco hotel right next to Elmfield Park.

The Earl of Doncaster is a fantastic Art Deco building

Travelling around the UK visiting minigolf courses has taken us to so many interesting places, many of which wouldn't be considered a 'normal' tourist spot. We really enjoyed our time in Doncaster and look forward to going back again in the future.
