elsslots:
55 people have voted now, for 921 different WHS.
It really is amazing how nearly every site has someone to root for it as "Top 200" material - and only from a population of 55 voters. I had always expected a long "tail" but no where near as big as that!
Perhaps we should have a go at guessing which are the 110 WHS which have no one to "love" them!!
I suggest the Madara Rider - but perhaps we have a Bulgarian mediaevalist among our number
And can anyone really have voted for Nesvizh or Mir?
The Par force Hunting Landscape must surely be another.
A few other suggestions going forward alphabetically - Nessebar, Boyana, Sveshtari, Ivanovo and Srebarna . Sorry Bulgaria - nothing against your country which has plenty of interest but many of its WHS are not that inspiring having emerged in the very early years of the scheme before "levels" had been set
To "equalise" matters I had better choose a few from UK ! Can anyone really have chosen Studley, Liverpool or St George ?
Going backwards alphabetically through the countries - a few more suggestions
Zabid, Waterton, Colonia, Bukhovinan Metropolitans, Struve, AL Ain, Nisa, Diyarbakir.......
Takes us to 20 already. At that rate I am soon going to pass 110 of what are, in my view, "no hopers"!
Perhaps the biggest "take away" from the exercise is the impossibility of reaching objective assessments in these matters across a population of different nationalities, professions etc. One man's "uninspiring location" is another's "centre of the Universe"!
