The Flintstones Crazy Golf

A look back at The Flintstones Crazy Golf course at Bowleaze Cove in Weymouth, Dorset.


The scorecard from Tee Time Miniature Golf in Ocean City, New Jersey that I recently blogged about reminded me of The Flintstones Crazy Golf course at Bowleaze Cove in Weymouth.

That course was the 77th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in October 2008. It's long gone now.

It's always fun seeing The Simpsons in unexpected places

It's not the first time we've seen The Simpsons on an ice cream van - we saw this one in Leeds and another in Cheadle Heath.

Resident Needle

I don't think I could've seen a better business name, sign and shopfront during my pandemic lockdown daily outdoor exercise than this one in Woodley Precinct, Stockport!

What voice would you use to say this shop name out loud?

The Simpsons ice cream van art

Spotting another Simpsons ice cream van.


It's always fun spotting Simpsons stuff while out and about and the family often appear in the artwork on ice cream vans, such as this glorious one we saw in Leeds.


We've also seen The Simpsons adorning Steve's Ices in Stockport.

The Simpsons Dodgems in Great Yarmouth

The Homer with no nose we saw in Great Yarmouth wasn't the only sighting of The Simpsons back in the summer of 2016. We also spotted the family on the dodgems.

The Simpsons ice cream van

We do enjoy spotting bootleg things and one of the best places to see them in use is on ice cream vans.

'Homer Simpson' in Great Yarmouth

The chalkboard image of Homer Simpson that Emily spotted in Chicago reminded me of this 'Homer Simpson' we spotted in Great Yarmouth back in July 2016.

The Flintstones Crazy Golf in Weymouth

A look back at The Flintstones Crazy Golf course at Bowleaze Cove in Weymouth.


I was looking through some of the weird and wacky Crazy Golf courses we've visited over the years and found this snap of me playing a 'Flintstones' themed course back in 2009.

Fred and Barney look on as I tee-off in Weymouth

The Flintstones Crazy Golf course at Bowleaze Cove was the 77th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour back in October 2008. I played it while in town to compete in the Weymouth Open tournament.


We've now visited 905 courses on our minigolfing travels since September 2006.

'Homer Simpson' and 'Peter Griffin' in Chicago

Emily found this superb chalkboard sign while in Chicago last month.

Someone is obviously better at drawing Peter Griffin.

seabay in Scarborough

Spotting the seabay shop in Scarborough.


We love visiting the seaside and enjoy spotting bootleg things, so it was a double-whammy when we saw the seabay shop in Scarborough's South Bay!

Gizmo's Pizzeria in Morecambe

While walking along the promenade in Morecambe my bootleg senses began tingling and out of the corner of my eye I spotted the very busy Gizmo's Pizzeria!
