Following on from a conversation over dinner about holidays my son Will123 just googled exactly that then  asked me what I thought and also what I thought google had said . I guessed a country ( wrongly ) but google gave quite a specific answer , I was also wrong  . I know at least three people who would have guessed correctly . I don’t know if different people will get a different answer .  So no spoilers please . Guess then google . 

Like : correct guess .

Dislike : incorrect

Horseshoe quarry?

Wherever you have had the most enjoyable time sport climbing? 

But being a sporting (ha) type I would say Verdon, but I have never climbed there. Personal favourite is Owens river gorge in the good old U S of A. 

Loads of places in France which Google Ai will pick up. Good question and now I will Google the results.

Having googled the answer I'm wrong! I'll get my coat.

Google is not giving me a specific answer, but one of the countries it gave was the one I guessed (woop). Due to the ambiguity I have neither liked or disliked your post

Are you sure you were wrong and google was right?
What makes you think that?

Crikey, really?

I thought it perfectly fit the UK description of " only rock that hasn't been climbed on already because it's so shit.  So it was ok to use it for sport climbing"

Lots of places I haven't been but I really enjoyed Red River Gorge and Siurana as much as anywhere.

Spoilers removed!
