The Rhyl Miniature Railway

A visit to Rhyl Miniature Railway.

Last month I had a fun day out in Rhyl and Prestatyn and while there had my first look at the Rhyl Miniature Railway.

Rhyl Miniature Railway can be found at Marine Lake. It's the location of Britain's oldest miniature railway!

Crazy Golf at Drift Park in Rhyl

Revisiting the Crazy Golf course at Drift Park in Rhyl, Wales.

Last month I had a fun day out in Rhyl and Prestatyn and swung by the Crazy Golf course at Drift Park.

We first played the course on our road-trip around the coast of Wales in the summer of 2009. Back then it became the 145th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We also visited the course in September 2014, September 2017, September 2018, January 2018 and December 2018.

Glow-in-the-dark Bowlingo at Mr B's amusement arcade in Rhyl

Playing Glow-in-the-dark Bowlingo at Mr B's amusement arcade in Rhyl.

Last month I had a fun day out in Rhyl and Prestatyn with my friend and minigolf rival Peter Jones. As it was out of season we didn't get to have a go on the miniature railway or play any of the Crazy Golf courses there. Luckily the amusement arcades were open so we were able to have a game of UV glow-in-the-dark black light Bowlingo at Mr B's amusement arcade!

The glow-in-the-dark artwork looked cool
