I see so many "The Average American has only been to five of these" posts on my social media feed. I feel double fortunate at having been to - typically - between 20 and 25 of the 30 places listed, and in not being American or at least not living there at present - but I should not get political!

An interactive map to visualise travel within the UK, allowing users to mark areas as lived, stayed, visited, stopped, passed through, or never been. The selected areas are filled with corresponding colours, and the UK 'level' is dynamically updated. The map supports persistence via local storage and offers the option to download and share with others.
The Outer Isles and Hebrides remain on my bucket list, and I would love to visit (London)Derry at some time and head on into County Donegal too. Alas, the Burtonport Extension closed many years ago and the cruise we had booked that called at Killybegs has been changed. I expect on those dates to send you a "where is this" quiz.
I have been fortunate to travel far and wide in the UK in the course of my work, staying a few days up to a week in many beautiful places, with occasional evening opportunities to get a feel for the neighbourhood. Missing or just-yellow areas are typically closer to home where I've commuted to work. Score of 332 is, suspect, rather higher than most members will achieve though I know you're a well travelled bunch.
