Afternoon all,
Just a quickie (for once! ;o)). I just want to know how far people would travel or be willing for someone to travel to? I'm looming to spread my wings a little further than local to meet a female or couple however when I've started conversation with others I seem to get knocked back instanty (I'm presuming it's not my looks here!) because of distance. I can understand that people get messed around and distance can be the problem but how far would you be willing for someone to travel to you so I can get a rough idea of how far to look. It's never been a problem for me if it's going to be worth the expeience but it obviously is for others. Obviously it's never going to be a definite answer as it's going to be on different factors but I just want people's thoughts on the matter.

How far?

We feel that around an hours journey time is reasonable enough. In our case that means large towns and cities come within our scope ( Bristol, Swindon, Poole/Bournemouth, Southampton, Basingstoke ). Any further than that and you get into the realms of overnight stays.

we have travelled from north Wales to Edinburgh or London, no distances too far for the right people, its only the cash to fund such trips that stops us that or work or family of course

I have been known to travel about 250 to 300 miles each way! 
I drove to Bristol from Herts. once upon a time ago... and they didn't show up! So I shagged a taxi driver on the bonnet of his car after meeting him in a notorious Dogging near Bath
I remember the days you used to do Florence Nightingale style beer runs to lorry drivers that were stranded and lonely in laybys!

We've done an 800 mile round trip for a meet before and we'd do it again for someone special. Takes some planning though.

You can't - it's not philosophy OR maths, it's chemistry ;)
OK my main objections on travelling a great distance to meet are... if it's nothing special it is too much effort/time/expense for just a shag; I wouldn't do it myself and I wouldn't want anybody to do it for me either. And if it *is* something special, it puts the encounter in the realm of one-offs - for me, a depressing thought!
Also, remember appearing too eager to cover the distance can sometimes be a turn-off - it's a fine line between enthusiastic and desperate ;) Do remind people that you are young and single, so traveling is an adventure in itself.

I'm in Merseyside. Have travelled to:
Newcastle, London, Leeds, York, Preston, Bolton, Birmingham, North Wales, Rugby, Milton Keynes...
of course Manchester is much more convenient (have an aversion to things being 'too' local!) but hey, if I think it'll be a good experience and the finances allow then I'm there!

I've done 6 hours on the train many times, but that wasn't what you'd call a 'meet'.
Being single, with no kids, no pets, no attachments, makes travel a lot easier. And I like travelling anyway, so I think my limit would be a fair bit higher than most. If the distance makes it impractical to return home that night, that's what hotels are for. The no kids part does make them easier to afford.
Macika: a six hour trip goes a bit quicker if you exchange some naughty texts along the way. And for the men, that also means the added fun of wondering if the erection will subside before it's time to get off. Failing that, bring a book.

For ourselves. Will only travel 40 mins maximum and this is simply due to kids. For us there has to be an allowence for, drive time, a bit of social time, play time. All of that has to be within about a 4-6 hour window so too much travel means not enough time for the other aspects.
For them. They can travel to us from as far away as they like We will share hotel room or flat hire costs then if they want to stay over they can. We have had a couple travel about 300 miles to meet with us for one evening.

In my time here I have been as far as London and the Midlands (from here in West Yorks). Like Nola I am reluctant to meet anyone who is too local, so travelling is something I'm happy to do.
Wait....hang on......scratch the 'frequent' bit :-|Until quite recently we would have travelled quite some distance (and we have) from our home here in North Wales, but the experience of our last couple of "meets" has really soured us to the idea.
2 no-shows!! FFS - what's the point in making the arrangements and then just not turning up - no explanation and no call or message - just not turning up! At £100 a pop for fuel hotel & meals it's a real piss take - Oh, how we wish we could name the bastards in the forums - if you wanna know just let us know and we'll tell ya in chat or by mail.
Anyway that's a totally different rant
To keep on topic we would now say that we would definitely NOT travel any further than 90 mins. Any more than that and it starts to be an overnighter and we'll only commit to them with people we know very well indeed.
Fortunately 90 mins puts us in reach of Liverpool, Chester and Manchester as well as a good chunk of Chesire and south Lancashire.
Previously we've had people travel from the south coast (of England) and London and all parts of Yorkshire/Humberside as well as Scotland to meet us. But then again, why wouldn't they? After all, they get to meet us and have one hell of a breakfast.
Or maybe they travel because they want to see the joys of the UK's finest National Park - Snowdonia, where the mountains tumble down to meet the sea.
Hope there's something there that helps.

We don't travel at all. Ever.
I suppose it comes down to whether your are looking or whether you are offering.
Generally, a single bloke should be prepared to travel anywhere - if he isn't prepared to do so then that's fine,, at the end of the day for every 1 guy who isn't prepared to travel, there will be 10 that are.
Generally as a single female, you should not have to travel at all - there are far more men than women on here and plenty of them will be prepared to travel.
Generally as a couple, you can call the shots as to whether you travel or not - depending on what you are offerering and how attractive you collectively are. If you are both utterly gorgeous then you are in the same boat of a single female, if you are not massively attractive to anything woman-born then you will be in the same boat as a single male.
But to answer the question - and to reiterate my opening statement, we don't travel at all and if whether we are seen to be utterly gorgeous or utterly repulsive doesn't really mean anything to us.
We have something to offer - whomever we are looking for has something to give, and either party can take it or leave it.
Works for us anyway.
