For me it’s not practical. We got offers from all over. But given our limited time to play, we don’t want to increae the chance of the meet not happening by agreeing with some guy who’s previously said he’s happy to drive god knows how many hours. After he’s had a wank and a think about his pending journey 
Having said that, About ten years ago I did have a guy drive up from the south west once. I think that took him 6 hours. |

I've met a couple of people from 100+ miles away and been worth it every time, tend not to be one offs either. But there's people I chat to from much further afield who is still love to meet given the right opportunity. If you have the time and means, distance doesn't need to be an issue for one offs, but when you're looking for something more then it'll quickly become a chore |

I’d travel 100+ Miles too if you were at the end of the journey  |

In a sense I’m lucky because my job sends me all over the place. So I don’t mind people far away messaging me - as there’s always a chance I can meet when I’m next there |

I have no issues at all about travelling miles for a meet. State that on my profile. If the dreaded 'no show' rears its ugly head, then I think ah well let's go out in this new town and see what happens. |

Yes! A couple of people I’ve met through forums. Best approach is just to chat as friends and if there’s a time your paths cross then great times ahead, I think it’s unfair to make plans when there’s a lot of distance between simply because there are so many things that could prevent it. |

"Is there any profiles you've read where you thought i'd like to meet them even if its just for a drink.
I had 2 GivesWood & Juicy"
Yes, I have. I was prepared to travel 2 hrs for a coffee once. And would again, I've never regretted anything I do, only things I didn't do? |

But then again it could all just be bullshit!
