Jiggers Miniature Golf is a 9-hole minigolf course on the banks of the Meare boating lake. It was a nicely designed and fun layout to play.

Miniature Railway in Thorne Memorial Park

A visit to the miniature railway in Thorne Memorial Park.


Miniature Railway in Thorne Memorial Park

While en route to Cleethorpes last May we drove through the town of Thorne near Doncaster, South Yorkshire and out of the corner of our eyes we spotted what looked like a miniature railway as we passed over a bridge near the canal. We had to stop off for a look at it.

Sadly there were no trains running on the day we were there.

Visiting Bangolf Vasaparken in Vasastan, Stockholm

A visit to the Swedish Felt minigolf course at the Vasaparken in Vasastan, Stockholm.


Bangolf Vasaparken in Vasastan, Stockholm

In February last year we made a short trip to Stockholm, Sweden and managed to visit nine miniature golf courses in 42 hours.

At the fifth of nine minigolf courses we visited in Sweden

Bangolf Vasaparken in Vasastan, Stockholm became the 802nd course visited overall on our tour, and the 33rd overseas. It's a nice looking Swedish Felt minigolf course.

However, as it was out of season and very snowy we couldn't play it.

The course has a bit of a dubious claim to fame and I hadn't put two and two together until our friend Hans told us, but the course was the location of this infamous minigolf viral video!

During our trip to Sweden we made the BIG 800th course visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. That was at Swing by Golfbaren in Vasastan.
