Have you been to a place no one else has been to?

[MrsTerryPratchett]

I'll start. The idea is you name the place and a fellow MNer has to say if they've been there. However, you don't have to wait until you've been somewhere to post. Post your places and you'll meet the MNers who've been there. You can post 1-3 places (random numbers).

I've been to:

Rwanda
The Whisundays
Cathedral Grove (Vancouver Island)

You would know if I was your sister by my name :) the hotel we stayed at had a piano in the middle of a pond in the lobby, with little stepping stones to get there.

I think Hobbiton is the only place I've been to so far 🙈

I did grow up looking out to sea at Sealand though! You're not a pirate by any chance @RawBloomers ?

My three places are closer to home:

1. Villach, Austria
2. Thorpeness, Suffolk
3. Lundy Island

Went to this place to see the man mentioned below with a relative for'healing '....

I’ve been to Almaty and Bishkek.
anyone else been to:
tibet
bhutan
jeju island
xinjiang province in China

Sorry, but I've been to the Stables at Badminton too! And I've been walked round the course at the Horse Trials by a medal winner, a few years ago, can't remember their name.

I only did one, so here is my 3

Tristan Da Cunha (remotest inhabited island in the world)
Dravuni (French polynesia, only 250 inhabitants) heaven on earth
Easo, Lifou, new Caledonia

Kebab shop Brixton

I've been to Bishkek and Almaty. Also went to Nur Sultan which is a very very striking place.

@kissthegirlshesnotbehindthedoor I’m afraid I’ve been to Greenland - it was amazing!

Miyajima Island Japan
Likoma Island , Lake Malawi
Shiretoko peninsula Japan
Mactan island , Philippines

@MumofSpud - I’ve been to Yulin and the DMZ, didn’t manage to get my foot into North Korea though - you may be on to a winner there!

I can't remember who mentioned them, but I've been to Pendeen and Mount Isa.

Binley Mega Chippy

Capri (no one I know in RL seems to bother going over to Capri from the mainland)

visited all of these

Mississauga.

I'll be interested to know if anyone's been there, just that back here In the UK I met someone from there who was astonished anyone had ever heard of it or been there.

Still got 2 pages to read, but none of mine so far either!

I call bullshit on the first one, it's 700 m at it's deepest, so unless you've drilled into the earth's crust?

I'm still in the running with the top of the Emley Moor tower.

@IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads It certainly was an experience. As well as the view, I don't what was most terrifying during the 7 minute ride up in the very cramped and noisy lift. The part where our host told the story of how it was the second tower because the first one collapsed, or discussion of the emergency procedures and the reminder of the disclaimer we'd all signed to say that if the lift broke down, we'd climb out of the emergency hatch at the top and climb down the escape ladder.....

@ShanghaiDiva what was Xinjiang like? It’s been on my list for years.

I think no one has been to my three yet…

@Mumtobabyhavoc I've been to Las Vegas. Only for a flight connection though.
@Elise72 I've been to Pretoria. The taxi driver got lost taking me to my hotel and I thought I was being kidnapped!
@Badknitter I've been up to the summit of Mt Snowdon. Most recently on the train with small DC. I've done the climb properly several times though.
@crumpet I've spent a night in Guilin before taking the river cruise to Yangshuo. Absolutely stunning scenery.
@marcopront I've been to Leon, Nicaragua. Not quite the hottest I've ever been in my life but definitely up there.

My three offerings:

• Troy, New York state. Stayed in a very dodgy hotel where the receptionist had never seen a passport before and there were mice at the breakfast buffet.
• Prato, Italy.
• The summit of Mt Qingcheng near Chengdu, China. It's the mountain from Kung Fu Panda 😁We walked up but saw some people being carried up on chairs. There are about a billion steps but the view is worth it.

@JoanThursday
@Pouffeycat

1. Luxulyan Valley (Cornwall, where the REAL first steam train worked)

Corpus Christi, Texas

Luxulyan Valley (Cornwall, where the REAL first steam train worked)

Stayed in a B&B there when visiting Eden Project to see Elbow (c2014).
