What's the furthest you've been?

For me

North: Ullapool, Scotland
South: Christchurch, NZ
East: Wellington, NZ
West: Duboise, Pennsylvania, USA

It strikes me that I haven't been very far north. A reasonable way west, but a long way south and east, from where I was born in the north east of England.

Being on a ship or a plane doesn't count. Let's say you have to have stayed a night on terra firma and had a dump.

Although having flow both ways to NZ, you can pick any longitude at all for the latter two.
