Ok, did a bit of dino golf research this afternoon.
It's open every day from 9am until dusk. Cost is £8.50 each, or you can get a groupsave for 4 adults for £28 (so we could get a few of them if we have enough people)
It's about 6 miles from Ealing Broadway, so the easiest thing to do would be for me to meet you at Ealing broadway and lead you there, then back to Broadway for Pizza and Pub.
Routes to Ealing can be nice until you hit shepherds bush, then basically you have two choices. Uxbridge Road, or Uxbridge Road then A40. First is a straight road with one not very steep hill, but you have to ride through Acton. Second I find quicker but is mixed A40 cycle path and more offensive, especially for groups. Once you get through Acton it's actually ok, but I wont lie to you Shepherds Bush to Ealing is a bit of a dump.
For the Southies, you could stay south of the river, then cross at Kew bridge and come up through Brentford - thats also a nicer route - I used to do that when I travelled between Tooting and Ealing.
Alternatively you could be really cheeky, ride to White City, then jump on the Central line with your Bike to Northolt which is round the corner, then we could ride back to Ealing and you could still do a cheeky central line to White City, ride to Shepherds Bush and if you were feeling really lazy take the overground to Clapham Junction.
I reckon a Sunday would be a better day than Saturday, but I need to check that Santa Maria would be open.
If I knock a doodle together for dates, who is interested?
