Did you win the first thread? Do you win the prize (which I believe was my respect and admiration)? If the other thread gets to 1000 come here to claim your prize.

Any more places to claim? I'll start, in honour of Pontins Prestatyn....

Gronant
Rhyl
Holywell

@Mumtobabyhavoc sorry I’ve been there. I lived in Ulsan and my kids went to school in Busan,

Also on my list is Geoje Island, have you been to either?

Mumtobabyhavoc · 22/04/2023 17:40

@OhBeAFineGuyKissMe Drats!!! No, I flew in to Seoul, then a domestic flight to Busan for a few day then back to Seoul for a bit. Loved it there!!!!

... I've got another - The Loch Ness Monster exhibition at Drumnadrochit (don't go to this if you have never been - it is truly the worst, most pathetic and useless attraction I have ever visited)

I've been there lots when visitors come and want to find Nessie Hmm
