Norwegian Seaways plans
Hey there!
Norwegian Seaways is still missing some funding for the reestablishment.
But they are very close to succeed.
All major newspapers in Norway were told about detailed plans, but they are all so eager for a new route in place that they forgot to keep their heads cool enough. What has been said is that they HOPE to raise a new link between Newcastle and Stavanger/Bergen in March/April 2014.

I was in contact with the people in charge, and they say that all which is missing is some millions... <--- ?! They have found a ferry for the project, but still the funding is incomplete. So, they are in desperate need of investors.
I was given an e-mail address for contact info if I can support with some funding, but since I ain't got a dollar................ I hope some millionaires out there can contribute

They want 30 Norwegian millionaires = 30M NOK, from a Norge population of about 10M isn't it?? (or is it 4M, I can't quite recall how many Norge there are!!)
Greater Stavanger
Footnote:
The pop of Norway is about 5M it transpires:-

On the other hand, the NOK is at a rate of about 9.9 to the £, so the hypothetical 30 contributors while being Norge millionairies do not need to be UK£ millionaires.
That's doable then, with the Norwegian oil wealth to hand.

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.
