Face to Face Deals/Distance Travelled ?

At a time when due to posting complications or otherwise, I got to think about the following :
How far have you travelled to carry out a F2F deal for shooting gear, gun/scope/kit ?

Me, I did a return trip in a day of 336 miles from Sheffield to Cockermouth, Cumbria to buy an Airsporter a few years back and a round trip of 369 miles from Sheffield to Theoben, Cambs. to collect a serviced Fenman then onto SFS West Mids. to collect two tuned air rifles and back home to Sheffield at about the same time again all in a day.

Furthest I've travelled was a round trip of about 120miles to the north side of Manchester. Also done a few slightly shorter trips....

I travelled from here in Cornwall to Sheppey for an Hw45 this month. I also went to Poland for some Crosman Tokarevs a couple of years back.

Well impressed with the Poland trip Nick, what dedication !

He was going over for vodka anyway John

I've travelled from London to Leominster in Wales for a HW95. 300 mile round trip. I didn't have to but I see it as a little adventure - a nice day out, meet a like minded Boinger and another air rifle too

Exactly that, all part of the Adventure, Tony and myself have said the same !

We're back off again to Krakow next week. I'm hoping to do some shopping while I'm there.

Hell of an adventure given that you won't find no Leominster in Wales!

Find me a nice Lucznik Predom Nick please !

Great place - have you been to Auschwitz - every one should go there to experience the inhumane horror - and the salt Mines.
Interesting restaurant shaped like a railway carriage which is well worth a go as well.

Have a great trip Nick.

Hey yup Les !
Yes it was that very gun !
John told me you both now "share it" !
I had been on the lookout for a carbine for yonks. When that one popped up I jumped at the chance !
Enjoyed the drive actually as you do when looking forward to picking something good/new up !

I did a 244 mile round trip to pick up a gun that I've never been able to get on with.
