[Closed] Where was the last place you visited?

Paris last weekend. To attend a party organised by a friend to celebrate the fact that he'd lived in Paris for 2 years.

Oh, and state why please.

The Duxford Flying Legends airshow a couple of weekends ago. My eight year old son provides ideal cover for me indulging my love of 'proper' aircraft.

Quantocks. Last Saturday. To ride.

Shanghai

Where I contracted typhoid

Magic

Russia. To pick up a bride. She was quite insistent on her email

America, to visit family and go on holiday.

Alnmouth to walk the dog. Not had a dog for 9 months so out of my routine. Further afield would be slightly more exotic, Wales.

Dartmoor. For riding on Sunday, though I was on the way back from a domestic duty.

Errmm - weren't you in manchester for a race last weekend?

Anyway, for me - Moseley / Ettington / Cannock chase for a wedding / reception / ride on the way home, respectively

the very slightly nearer, but very slightly more expensive off-license (as I was feeling flush and lazy, rather than my usual skint and lazy)

Fort William - Holiday

London yesterday, to interview some early years teachers.

Silverstone - F1

On Tuesday I went for a tour or Bristol's WW2 defences. Quite interesting as I'd no idea how extensive it was.

Nice defences!

Huyton...to interview some alcohol mis-users...good for the soul and makes me appreciate having a "normal upbringing" thanks Mum&Dad 😉

Somewhere in a West Country county in order to supervise some ex-offenders who may or may not be convicted sexual deviants.

Quick edit for reasons of wishing to retain my current job.

Ben Cruachan - the Hollow Mountain. It's a mountain. You take a bus that drives you 1km into the mountain then a short walk to the Turbine Hall which can house a medium sized cathedral but instead houses 4 turbines (hence the name, or the builders were just very fortunate to find 4 well placed turbines inside a mountain) which can generate 440 MWatts, which apparently would power Edinburgh for not very long. The best part was probably inthe observation room from where the turbine hall was hidden by a huge photo of the dam above, until the guide pushed the button to roll up the photo - the James Bond theme should have been playing, and there should have been boiler suit cled guys with machine guns abseiling into the place.
And ospreys nesting on the other side of Loch Awe.
And stoped at the Falls of Dochart on the way back (picture doesn't capture the magnificent violence of the falls

oh and sunday did a stupidly fast motorbike ride up the coast, but bearing in mind whe OP is, I won't go into any details about that 😆

Currently in China, leaving tomorrow. I arrived here from Hong Kong, prior to that in Taiwan, Delhi, Bangkok, having left the UK on 04 July.

All a giant business trip, so may qualify as 'usual routine'.
