Regarding 2011 and your holiday of a lifetime, a quote from Tim Vine;
"Last year I went on a holiday of a lifetime - never again!"

I did a double take at the description of Tynemouth since to Northeasterners it's as emblematic of tastefulness as, say, Richmond might be to Londoners. [Any untasteful parts can be deemed to be in North Shields instead.]

Wanstead Flats - very much one of the high points of Newham

Enjoyed this. I went to Reykjavik in 2017. Blue Lagoon is fantastic. Haven't been back to Berlin in over 20 years sadly.

Sticking to the month of June only, 1967 USA is my furthest and second would be Cairo in 1981.
I enjoyed reading about your trip to Iceland, it does not seem like 9 years ago.

Went to have a look at Ted Heath's gaff on Monday 27/06/16 on your recommendation. Great. Thanks
The Outer Hebrides sound super tempting. Will add to today's map order.
The last time I took the train home from Brighton after a few drinks I ended up in Bedford. I lived a short walk from Farringdon station at the time.

This post appears to contain both the northernmost point you've visited as well as the easternmost.
Given that you have visited the US possibly the most southern as well as westernmost point you have been to, what percentage area of the world's surface does this represent. A topic for a rainy day, perhaps.
dg writes: Been there done that. Attempting to use straight lines to calculate a percentage of the surface area of a sphere isn't an especially meaningful concept, though.

I'm amazed that Iceland is so much further away than Berlin!
I must have a very skewed notion of mainland Europe!

How embarrassing, not only had I completely forgotten that you had covered this topic, I posted a set of comments there - no excuse, but it was nice to read it again. Thanks for the memories DG.

A great read, as ever. Would love to know what "rural Humberside backwater" you alighted at from on a mainline train from London though... Unless you're talking about Hull itself?

June 1986 - Sydney, Australia... Celebratory trip to visit family after gaining my degree. Their winter is often warmer than our summer.
Delayed arrival, sent via Auckland (missed connection), trapped at the airport for twelve hours - the terminal has improved considerably since then...

Your 2008 belated visit to places you failed to visit when a student at Oxford, reminded me that I similarly failed to visit the Barber Institute during my three years at Birmingham University in the 1960s...and all I needed to do was cross the road from the Union building...and I still haven't visited even though my maturer self has a real interest in its contents.
I was prompted to look at your 2008 archive to see what you said about your Oxford trip at the time. I have spent the afternoon revisiting your blogged events of that year... amazing that you covered so many topics when you were still in full-time employment. I was particularly tickled by the June 25th outburst "please stop reading while you walk", and the thought of how relevant this still is even though the media of choice is so changed. I think there may be a French phrase that says this better!
