Central Asia - Mongolia - Siberia

For anyone looking to join a one and half month summer 4WD expedition to these destinations, a Polish friend of mine is leading one.

If I know the guy, as I do, it will be pretty full on ... the faint hearted need not apply.

No. It is not.

It was Michael Rej on his 'BAM curtailed" SyberiaMongolia2009 expedition that we met coming the other way, a day west of the Vitim Bridge.

This tour looks to be by other friends although under Michael's company.

EDIT - It look like it is him leading this, although there is no mention or photo of him on the link.
Sorry

I have been speaking to him over on another 4x4 forum. I think he is putting the feelers out for business

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.
