27 - But mimimun time to classify as 'visited' has to be walked around for a day - not driving through right?

26, biggest being London. Varying reasons. Day trips, work, visiting relatives, and so on.

Just get yourself up to the Scottish Islands esp the Outer Hebrides, i usually do it by cycle and such a beautiful remote place.

Cycling from glasgow to inverness on the Loch and Glens route later this year

12, biggest I haven't visited - brum. I travel for a living, and have to say I'm not a big fan of cities.

55. I used to think if you could scribe the roads I've travelled on then you could clearly see that it was the UK.

I'm ashamed to admit that despite travelling to every continent on this planet other than the bloody cold one on the pole, I've only visited 43 of those.

My kids, who have done the inter-continental thing with us, would probably be at less than 10 - which is utterly shameful boxedin

This thread has however motivated me to do something about that... smile

60.

Apart from Belfast, I didn't visit any other NI ones. (overnight in Dungannon)

20 plus years in sales counts for most of the trips. Way back when a 'travelling salesman' actually travelled!

Even my parents who although in their 70's still travel to various areas of the country selling antique furniture, take bets on whether they can visit somewhere I HAVEN'T been. biggrin
