Availability of b/w films on the Channel Islands?

[thmk]

Has anyone here been on the Channel Islands, yet? I will be there in summer and wonder if I will have to take a battery of Plus-X/Tri-X/Neopan 1600 with me or if these films are easily available on Guernsey and Jersey.

Cheers

One of the UK's biggest online photography stores, 7dayshop, is based in Guernsey. Check out their stocks of film; apparently they will let you collect from their warehouse. So, far from being worried, you probably have easier access to large quantities of film than many of us in London! Drop them a line and see what they can do.

I live on Jersey, don't worry, lots of shops stock black and white film,
especially if you're not too picky about what type!
I order all my trix from MX2 who are also based in Guernsey, you could
email them and see if you could collect too (www.mx2.com).

Cheers,
Andy

I just contacted 7dayshop and only Guernsey residents may pick up at the warehouse 🙁
