Updates to the Holywell Bay and Millendreath parks from 'Eddie Chester' hahahaa. How many people can relate to scanning Where? to make a family holiday from hell interesting by finding something to skate nearby... the Millendreath one was so weird - the guy running the crazy golf looked puzzled about what I would be doing in the little bowls - like no one had ever figured out what this relic was for. Holywell was great... even OTHER skaters were there - kind of rare at the time.R.I.P. Kettering Skatepark - when my kids want to go to Wicksteed I still go and stand on the carpark that replaces my fav. place to spend a hot summers day when I was a kid - my Auntie lived just opposite and I got to ride it for a week every year. I remember being the only one in there one day and seeing a kid watching through the fence sat on his bike. He didn't have any money to get in so I paid then watched the amazing skills of the legend that is 'Chilly' in his youth powering out of the bowl - jaw dropping.

We once went searching for the Chingford ramp with nothing more than a 1-day bus pass.Although we didn't find the ramp, the day turned into a 'search for Animal Chin' and we had a great day!!
