How well travelled in England & Wales are you?

[Wacky Racer]

Just a bit of fun:-

I reckon I am reasonably well travelled having owned a few motorhomes....I have selected just off the top of my head several places I have visited on my travels on holiday or business, see how many of my completely random choices you have ever been to.

Obviously a thirty year old is probably unlikely to have been to as many places as someone twice the age.

Here goes, totally at random:-

Dent (Cumbria)

Lands End

Blyth

Whitby

Sherringham

Cromer

London

Manchester

Lancaster

Lincoln

Skegness

Dungeness

Brighton

Torquay

Llanfair PG

Rhyl

Cambridge

York

Oxford

Minehead

Keswick

Pickering

Bournemouth

Dorchester

Sheffield

Hull

Cardiff

Swansea

Huddersfield

Settle

Dulverton

St Helens

Basingstoke

Berwick on Tweed

Rugby

Stafford

Glossop

Margate

Beaconsfield

Lowestoft


I count that forty, how many of these have you visited or even just passed through?

[bobtail4x4]

most of them

[Riley Blue]

All of them except one, Llanfair PG, plus a few more in the 50 or so years I've been driving.

[leyorkie]

Too many to list.
Especially after chasing the RAC Rally and the Scottish over the years
Plus holidays were always in Uk upto 1970 so Isle of Wight, Torquay etc and of course all of Yorkshire

[surveyor]

Yep,

Not going to list, but being 47 years old and inspecting telephone masts for the last 10 years, plus a national role before means I've been to or through most places in the UK, and a decent chunk of Ireland.

Currently the most southerly place to go soon on my list is St Austell, and the most northerly Peterhead. Plus plenty in between.

I've been to Splott!

Amazing

[hotchy]

Hardly any. Iv been abroad as many times just never done the UK much.

A bit of a thread steal but what one would be the best for things to do? Adventure, fun and adrenaline style trips. I see the UK as boring, but I'm not going abroad because I can't risk the 10 days in a hotel so would like some ideas for next month if its not sold out

[Riley Blue]

If we're being asked to list every city, town and village we've visited I'm likely to cark it long before I'm finished.

I haven't travelled that much abroad but I've more than compensated by getting to know the UK rather well by touring by car, most recently in (surprise, surprise, a Riley).

In 2019 I drove from Land's End to John O'Groats and in 2020 from St David's Head to Ness point, Lowestoft, both times using B-roads. Later this month I'll be driving the length of Wales, south to north, again by B-roads; you get to discover and enjoy much more that way.

Why not Scotland or Northern Ireland, is OP nationist?

I haven't been to NI either and I'm more than twice his age; I just haven't got round to it yet.

You should…

I've never been to Northern Island, but I have been to the south, and and several places in Scotland as far north as Aberdeen and Loch Ness,

What's the point of listing them, unless you have an opinion of them?

Because that's what we do, and if you don't be careful you will be sent to Coventry.
