Seat68 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I have made a few pilgrimages in my time. The first as a lefty pup was to Marx’s tomb. Reminded last week by a colleague who said he lived in Highgate and I said oh I went there when I was in my early 20s. He said to see Marx’s tomb? I said yes. The others have been country music related and thinking when I am bored next making a journey to the site of Strawberry Studios in Stockport. So I ask, not football related, have you made any pilgrimages? The more pointless, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very tempted to find the Quadrophenia alley when I was in Brighton a few years ago but it was on business and never really got the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I visited Jim Morrison’s grave in Paris and even bought a white rose on the way to put on it. I used to be pretty big into the Doors, don’t think I’d have the same inclination these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Billboard go-go bar, Bangkok. Seriously though, I don't think I have. I've been places like Auschwitz because of an interest in it, but I wouldn't say pilgrimage. I'd like to go to Stuttgart to see the Mercedes and Porsche museums, but thats because i'm a bit of a car nerd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted February 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2023 Accompanied my old man to visit Jerusalem once. He loved it all. My thoughts would probably be best in the anti-Israel thread that started a week or so ago. The only other one I deliberately did (as in, I went out of my way for it) was to see Spike Milligan’s grave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Went and found the Marx and Engels statue once, but did go specifically looking for it. Always stop off in Tolpuddle if I’m down around there. Always build time in to London trips to visit this place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 There's a huge pilgrimage in Poland to our holy city called Częstochowa. People walk there from all over Poland, as in the city there's the main Catholic church due to the Black Madonna being housed there. I've actually been there but I didn't walk. Oh and this city now has the best football team in Poland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
