either end of the country, not for a quick shag of course ffs!
but lets just say, from glasgow-london I can book a bus/train for a week/month ahead, and it could end up costing £20 there and back
long travel time, bus has wifi,grab a kip.. get the meet!
so yes..I will travel far, especially if its for a party  |

I would leave that up to the other person to decide as they are making the journey.
If I am travelling depends on who I am meeting and the circumstances.
Leeds is the furthest I have been and that was well worth the trip. |

i had guys say to me im too far..and there 30mins away!
yet also have had a guy tavel from liverpool and another from london though and they stayed the night.
suppose everyone is different as to how far they would travel.
i dont drive..but if liked someone and made a night of it id travel a couple of hours.
some years back i got train to Guildford stay with a guy for wkend..luckily he was genuine, wudda been pissed off going all that way and nothing! which i have read happens sometimes so understand why peeps are cautious  |

I cant travel, dont drive can only get into my local town. Someone earlier said he would drive to meet me just for a hello, but its an hour away, too far for just that, wouldnt let them. Done it before someone drove a long way, wont say more but never again |

Unless it's friends we know and have met before, we wouldn't normally consider anything over an hour away...we made the mistake once of allowing a guy to travel over 2 hours to us straight after work only to find that he was absolutely not what he had portrayed himself as in his profile or pictures but kind of felt obliged to play because he's come so far...never again so the hour rule is pretty much set in stone because we will not do that ever again and will feel less guilty about turning someone down if we need to... |

I don't put a limit on how far I travel. It all depends on the person. I have travlled all the way up to Leeds from London purely just for a social to catch up with friends. If I have met the person before and they were truly exceptional, there is NO LIMIT  |

I think I would go further and perhaps meet halfway. So say it was London to newcastle a half way point would be agreed, more so on a first meet given that it has the potential to be a short one if there is no connection |

Meeting half way definitely works as well and would be the preferred option if not met in person before. |

Living in the countryside means that I need to travel 15miles to get to the nearest town ! An hours travel is the normal for a meet although have been lucky with 10 mins down the road ! |

I have driven for over 2 hours to attend a social or party which I dont think is unreasonable. Especially as I am likely to see several of my friends from here. Once I get to know someone I am happier to travel as I know they are genuine and equally so they know I am too. |

local (within 10m) is convenient but i love an excuse to get away and love a hotel too.
We both travel between Edinburgh (family commitments) and London (work commitments) so stop at a fair few stations on the way, lol |

We wouldn't meet anyone that was over about 10 miles. Plenty of people within that distance anyway. We wouldn't like someone to travel more than that then decide that we didn't like them. |

Living out in The Sticks, getting meets isn't easy. There are a few 'locals' I meet, but their time is restricted, so to speak. Would love to have someone stay over, have the luxury of a weekend, but distance seems to be a big obstacle. I can travel, but so far my offer to do so hasn't been taken up.
Nothing is crapper than talking for weeks about a possible meet and you see that meanwhile meets were enjoyed much closer to home. Of course I'm pleased for them, but....

I met a nice gent halfway (approx 90 miles round trip) and was surprised that he was surprised that I had turned up!
Living in the boonies..where everyone knows everyone, I always travel away! |

I'm with some of the other ladies on this. If a bloke wants to meet me then he comes to me. Having said that I won't meet anyone who has more than 30 mins drive to reach me , as i'd feel bad if they had a wasted journey ( too many guys look nowt like their pics I am finding).
And there are so many singles on here, meeting guys within that distance isn't a problem. |

I travel a lot with my job anyway, and I split my time between being at camp through the week which is down in South England to going home at the weekends to Wales. So throughout the week I can only really travel up to an hour or so, whereas at weekends I can pretty much go anywhere I want :D |

pretty much the same as most.
30-45 mins otherwise we would suspect people wouldnt bother with the trip.
however, we wont travel that far as V doesnt travel well, but have in the past. |

for me the buzz of visiting a new place makes up for the distance/time travelled. Typically, I'd include sight-seeing in the plan, say, as plan B . I enjoy travel too much to let a lousy meet get to me. Hence weekend meets.

Up to an hour's drive from home nowadays.
I used to travel further afield, however, it is costly due to rise in petrol prices and the need to arrange pet care.

I'll do an hour/hour and a half across London on a train. Get myself comfy, book and a bag of chocolate peanuts and I'm nicely relaxed for when I arrive |

I don't mind travelling
I quite like driving.
It gives me chance to listen to my iPod.
I'll generally consider driving anywhere in the North West for a genuine female, couple or group.
It's all part of the adventure and fun |

I have to say we had a couple ask us for a meet and they were Hereford. After thinking for a while i had to say to my partner (who was quite happy to drive there) that i wasn't committing to playing based on the look of a person and it was a good drive for a no play.
I'd consider 30 minutes each way enough, after all we have Chameleon's only 20 minutes from us |

Sensible.
As for me, I won't travel outside of my comfort zone until having met them. If the connection is very strong then I am more than happy to travel a couple of hours for a weekend's non-stop action . |

I have travelled to new Zealand for a date, 3 days to get there, one day there and 3 days back.
I would now only travel up to 3 bus stops, there are enough men within 5 miles of me, to keep me going, and I could have a meet every day, if I wanted to.
The one lesson I have learnt, is the grass is never greener on the other side, |

If we have been in touch for a good while, and can talk not just about sex, and I will see the person for a decent amount of time, then I will have no problem driving for a few hours.
I enjoy driving anyway, and love seeing different countryside. |

Normally we will go about an hour. It is an hours drive to the nearest clubs to us anyway.
We did agree to go nearly 100 miles recently, but we had a pretty good idea it was going to work out and as it turned out if we had driven 200 miles it would have been worth every mile |

We will travel upto about an hours journey both way but have been know to travel more but would hate to turn up after a long journey and you don't get on  but then again not a lot of people want to meet us so no chance of traveling any way lol
