No to every thing so far, but how about ...
The glass floor area of the CN Tower in Toronto.
Just off the path on the cliff top between St Austell nudist beach and the golf course. (Ah, sweet memories )
In front of the Mona Lisa in the Louvre.

Mona Lisa, briefly; I'm rather short and there was a big crowd.

Ommigosh Posted Mar 19, 2003
Yay! Got one at last.
I've been to the top of Lochnagar a few times. Once, we shared round a box of black magic chocolates which seemed an unusual thing to have on the top of a mountain. (Usually its cheese and pickle rolls or malt loaf).
What about Electric Brae near Maybole (Ayrshire?)

Mona Lisa ... yes
Cleghorn Bridge anyone?
Strangely Specific Places Game
Whisky Posted Mar 19, 2003
Yup to the Mona Lisa...
At least I assume it was the Mona Lisa... I was stuck behind a crowd of about 400 Japanese Tourists at the time so I'm not sure what that postage stamp-sized painting was
Yes to Scafell and Dungeon Ghyll - several times...
How about Buttermere for another Lake District location?

Went to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa but the whole place was shut. Sounds like I didn't miss much going by the above postings. (Sorry Lenny).
Got frightened by the witch in Wookie Hole. (I was only little!)

Yes to Arthurs seat. Best cure for a hangover (If you find a topaz stud earring up there, it's mine)
Yes to Mona Lisa (it's tiny)
Yes to glass floor Tower Toronto (wow)
Anyone been to the Shell place near the New Forest somewhere - big walk around garden made up of millions of sea shells

YEY! I walked round there. 50 miles - Keswick to somewhere else (gah, my minds going... gone... )
Hmm. Easy one. Top of the fountain at Trafalgar Square. Now that was an night...

Wasn't impressed by Wookey hole. No Wookies.
Went past Mona Lisa more or less without stopping as there was such a crowd and there are so many more interesting things to see in the Louvre.

Yep to Wookie hole.

I haven't been to the top of the fountains in trafalger sq but we parked right next to the fountains on the saturday before xmas 1997...amazingly we didn't get a ticket

IctoanAWEWawi Posted Mar 19, 2003
PQ - well some sort of bizarre mines in wales, not just the slate ones (been them) but some half way up a mountain with long long tunnel in from the side.

I've been to Iron Bridge, now protected by a horrible, rough, black coating. It was quite a nice day, though. Half the class ended up sitting on the shore of the river in the shadow of the bridge.
How about the cloakroom, Manchester Academy?
