To make up to the children for the Laurel and Hardy museum we detoured on the way home to Grange over Sands. My mum had been told that there was a fabulous sports offer for families on the promenade. On arrival it doesn't look too much like a coastal prom:
We had parked in the first car park (turns out there is a cheaper one further into town..) so had a bit of a walk down the prom. Whilst I bought the tickets for the sports the children tried out the free exercise kit:
Tickets for a family were only £5 which could have given us a full day access (we only had 1.5 hours):
The boys chose tennis as their first activity whilst the rest of us went for a more sedate game of bowls:
After a while I challenged my sister in law to a game of putting:
The local bees had made the most of the putting green to set up home:
After a few highly competitive matches a few of us moved onto crazy golf whilst the others played bowls. The course was themed for the locality including the duck pond from the park:
All too soon we had to head back to the car passed the abandoned lido which my mum swam in as a child!:
Such great value we may try and get back before the end of September or next year!
