    Seriously though, Vancouver (If you've been, you'll know why) or St. James Park when the Gallowgate is rocking.

    Korcula, Croatia. Bliss.
    I saw loads of octopusses there while snorkelling too.

    I havent been to enough places yet to have an ultimate favourite. I dont even have a favourite so far, there's so many places I like.

    Forkhill, South Armagh, the beauty of the Ring of Gullion has to be seen to be believed.

    Okpo, South Korea

    That's a fascinating graph.

    Windsock, I think you should just pick the place you like best that you've been to, and use that as your answer.

    Wicklow, Ireland. Because its home.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    But I don't have a place that I like best...oh Ok. Wales then. I thought it was lovely and the history was interesting. A bit like Ireland but quite different too. Plus the accent is hilarious :)

    Did you go to Northland and 100 Mile Beach? Amazing...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,820 ✭✭✭Vorsprung


    Morraine Lake in the Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada.

    Most beautiful place I've ever been to.

    I lived in Northland for a few months. Lovely spot alright. Then again, so is the rest of NZ. Bar South Auckland.

    Sitting on a boat off the Great Barrier Reef, with a full tank of air and the energy to get back in again

    I love Turners Cross. always has a brilliant atmosphere and the one-liners some of the fans come out with are hilarious.

    My favourite non-soccer place would probably be Gougane Barra in west cork. its a really beautiful and tranquil place when it isnt full of tourists.

    I have to agree with you Rossie. I've been to Chamonix many times (got back this afternoon actually after a few days) and love the place. I've been both winter and summer and there is always something to so. Hike, climb, mountain bike, rafting, boarding etc. You name an outdoor sport and you can probably do it there. You couldn't get bored there as there is so much to do. Ohh and not to sound like a sh1t but the top of the Midi is 3,842 metres (12,605 ft) (sorry for the correction) but hey, whats a few feet between friends. Im just delighted someone here loves the place as much as I do.:)
