Talking May/June 2018 UK visit (or from El Obelisco Porteño to the Ace Café and beyond...)

YES, this time our very postponed trip to UK is coming true, see old post if you like:
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...giesland-62825

We bought the tickets some days ago!!!

We will arrive to Heathrow on May 17th and will be back in BA ready for work again on July 2nd.
(And before someone ask, we will be able to manage some work from distance when at the road)

We have chosen these weeks as usually we aren’t very busy and would like to go as far to visit Scotland, Wales, England and maybe if we can (about time) Ireland.

We wold like to visit nice places, ride scenic or charming roads and visit some friends.

We will attend the HUBBUK Meeting at Baskerville From June 14th to the 17th. We hope we will meet there lots of old friends and new ones.

We are not taking a bike over… so this is something we are working on to solve in the next weeks. There are some offers, but have to resolve regarding papers and insurance for a foreigner on an International Driving Permit. We are open to any offer, advise or suggestion on these subjects….

As before, this post is to know who will be around, tell you that we really would like to see you, and visit that place we hear so many great stories about.
Any advice will be more than welcome, places must be visited, roads.... anything you think we should know.

This time things will be in the opposite, we will be the guest and you the host.
Hasta pronto...

Javier & Sandra

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
