Germany, Czech Rep, Poland.
Hi All,
I'm leaving the UK on Monday 4 Aug and heading for Auschwitz. My route will be first night somewhere near the Mosel, Cochem or Koblenz area, then accross towards Bayreuth before crossing into Czech and through Karlovy Vary, Most & Liberec. I will be stopping in Oswiecim for Thursday & Friday night, before heading south into Slovakia on Saturday, then accross to Austria.
If anyone is around, going my way, or lives on this route and wants to share a , that would be cool.
Cheers,
Lee.

I'm doing the same three countries starting the following day,Tuesday 5th but, sadly, not by bike. It's a family trip and we're flying, training and busing, firstly to Berlin, then to Katowice area (including Auschwitz) and finally Prague.
I've no idea how this is going to go as planning responsibility has shifted down a generation and, inspired by industrial practice, to a "just in time" approach. All I have to do is turn up.

WOW ! Not sure if I could cope with that, every ANB ( Adventure-Non-Believers ) I've ever travelled with cocks up with something quite fundamental, that I usually have to sort out. Maybe I'm just not picking the right people??

Safe riding anyway!

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.
