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....

I claim Sentosa Island (great fun place!) and Wharram Percy - not actually a lot going on there!

One of my places survived the last thread. (Bujagali Falls.) This thread’s offerings are:

  1. Calakmul, Mexico.
  2. Kabak, Turkey
  3. Klövskö, Sweden
All of them the arse end of nowhere, in different ways!

I definitely have Khabarovsk, would have to check a train map for the rest of the Russian ones but if they are on the Trans Sib or Trans Mongolian lines consider them claimed.

Snaefell I have, although not overnight.

My opening bids for this thread:

Lake Ladoga
  • Hinkley Point power station (Sizewell I've seen but not been insode)
Show quote history

Khabarovsk is the only one on the Trans siberian /Mongolian, first 3 are in the Russian Caucasus region, the 4th is north of Moscow in the "Golden Ring"
