I have only counted heritages I have been in to or feel I have done the whole visit to. If i should count the "near misses", it would be much more.
With the new tick-boxes I have come up to 83 in late 2011.
Updated during a euopean trip June 2012, 99 and counting.
There is so much to do about this!
115 it is in spring 2015 and after a good tour to France in July 2015 it is 139.
Not much traveling in 2020. I did my remaining Swedish, Birka and "Hälsingegårdar". Nice weather at Birka made that day. Take the tour, or not much will be understood as the town itself is completely destroyed. According to WHS count, 159 WHS now. Will be no more during 2020, I believe.
My most impressive site: Egypt pyramides, of the ones I have visited. Perhaps topped by Carcassonne France because of the complexity to upkeep a whole town. The pyramides are rather sturdy even if much of Pyramides glory was taken down to bulid mosques in Cairo.
