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

[MrsTerryPratchett]

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

Panarea, one of the Aeolian Islands
Summit of Mt Kilimanjaro
Mustique (happily go back there again!!!!)

I’ve been there!

I've been to Moscow and St Petersburg, and to various other places in Russia which I posted earlier in the thread and which, apart from Khabarovsk, I don't think anyone else has been to so far.

I have been to top of Mount Vesuvius 5 months pregnant

Also been to Rhyl, Rhyl Suncentre no less

Been to Rhyl a couple of times: to the crit cycling track there for ds. He won his first race there. He was fascinated by the mobile homes and the amusement parks as we drove in.

@JulesJules, I lived on both Lamma and Lantau islands.

A few of my friends lived in Hong Kong and Lantau. Sounded amazing.

I was a winner on the last thread with the following unclaimed:
Demerara River in Guyana
Mazunte in Oaxaca in Mexico
Vilcabamba, Ecuador.
Merida, Venezuela.

Going to add one more. Durnsford Lido in north London, which doesn't exist anymore. Happy Days!

So impressed with the travel on this thread.

of those mentioned so far, I have visited (well, while working)
Lake Malawi
san Blas islands, Panama,
Lantau island

can offer ( also for work sadly)
Masnaa border crossing between Lebanon & syria (also Damascus & Homs)
Garowe Somalia
Samarkand (Uzbekistan)

would like someone to say they’ve been to Tahiti so I can ask what it’s like.

Been to Byblos, also Syria including Damascus and Homs

Offering Palmyra and Westray

@Itslookinggood I've been to Samarkand. It was completely mind blowing

Rectum, the Netherlands
Antelope island, Utah
Samye Ling Tibetan centre, Dumfriesshire

Been!

I think I've having a new rule which is borrowed from the drinking establishments thread. Although Putin's hunting lodge was good, I'm going to exclude places you need special invitations or to be friends with oligarchs to access!

You'll get special props, but you can't win this thread with them.

Suomenlinna, near Helsinki

Sorry been there , Taiwan in general is awesome and i would highly recommend for anyone to go

My submissions for the obscure places list are Fuyang in Anhui province China - I'd anyone has been there did you try the amazing sesame noodles?

And Jiuhuashan in the same province (one of the most beautiful places I've ever been)

Been there! Finnish person here...gorgeous place!

I think I've been to this, is it the same place with the weird outdoor penis sculptures or does Jeju have two? 😂

Beit a dine in Lebanon. Walid Jumblatt of the Druze people has a palace there.

I’ve never been to St Petersburg, but I have been to Leningrad, twice. Also Nijni (? spelling) Novgorod, Minsk and East and West Berlin. Do you get bonus points for going to places that don’t officially exist any more?

I’ve been to Lenin’s Mausoleum in Red Square n Moscow. He was well preserved, as much as I can judge.

DD has been to N Korea, but only just.

It does have 2, but it looks like we've been to the same one

You don’t hear much about Walid Jumblatt these days. When I was little, I thought his name was Wally.

@Florabeebaby Suomenlinna is blissful. I have fantasies of living in a little cottage there.

I’ve been to Tobermory, Ontario and the Bruce Peninsula National Park as mentioned upthread. Superb place.

I’ve also driven through Hurricane, Utah two or three times and think I stopped for petrol, but not sure if that counts.

How about Kimberley (British Columbia) Mertola (Portugal), Pasir Ris Park (Singapore) or the Las Vegas Marriage Licence Bureau?

I've been to Discovery Island Florida , it's where I saw giant turtles mating! I think it still exists, just abandoned and no longer featured on the WDW maps.
Also been to Kimberley (BC)

I'll go:
Soweto, SA, in the presence of Winnie Mandela.
Castaway Cay, Bahamas
Grebbestad , Sweden

(Posting again - I was on the wrong thread)

I've been to Bonaire as well - on an island-hopping holiday to the ABC Islands - Aruba, Bonaire & Curaçao - fab.

Walton's Mountain Museum - Schuyler, Virginia
Gettysburg - Pennsylvania
Postojna Cave - Slovenia
