How far will you travel to shoot this summer?

I started thinking about this tonight as I'm up to my ears in entry forms, SAE's, cheque books and a calendar that's covered in biro.

While my wife stares at the calendar, safe in the knowledge that another summer will pass without the garden being landscaped, I thought I'd ask how far will everyone be travelling this year (and whether anyone knows a cheap landscape gardener!).

Going to The Netherlands for 3 events this year Again!! though all in the same 2 week span and when there are local shoots

Holiday dictated by my work schedule I'm afraid.

We used to go to Bedford in July - now there's a drive with a caravan from Edinburgh! Also managed to Andover once - got 2 MB scores at the "Indoor" end of the field other half wasn't so happy. He actually seems to like driving his car up and down the M6. Its the long stretch, in the dark often, up the A702 that's a bit wearing.

Travelling Distances!

As this is my first outdoor season and I live centrally just above Oxford Im heading east to Norfolk, Exeter to the South West and Lillishall as the furthest Northward tourny (so far anyway)! And a few forays into the Bristol and Essex areas as well.
