Oct 8th - Oct 21st :: Around UK or UK to France
Hi all,
I'm off work for the next 2 weeks and if anyone is travelling around any of the UK or (even better!) heading off from the UK to France then give me a shout.
I have no real plans myself, but thinking about heading for France early next week on my own if nothing better comes up.
Cheers!
Cammy.

Just a thought if you have this much time to spare why not go to germany and visit the nurburing very nice place and also the roads in this area are great. Sundays are normal open day for the track so there are normally loads of bikers and cars there, plenty to keep you entertained for a while

Just come back from Southern France/Italy three days ago.
Still in the high 20's and no bugger about as the French & Italians are all back at work. Glorious!

Hey Sparky Stu - accomodation question
Sparky, I seen your other posting asking for accomodation recommendations for France and you mentioned you would follow up with anything good you found.
Did you find anything good? Any recommendations yourself? Any places to definitely avoid?
Cheers fella!

Re the 'Ring... absolutely recommended! Top entertainment, even from a spectator's viewpoint. Combine this with a run around the Mosel Valley/Eifel and then a troll down to the Black Forest - ace roads and pretty quiet this time of year? Then a swing down the Rhone Valley to Provence for a bit of sun... oh, i'm drooling!!

Hi Cammy,
Sorry for the delay getting back. I'm having massive computer probs this week, the Blue Screen of Death is my new best freind.
I ended up staying in an ETAP hotel at Beaune. They are a chain, so not that great if you'r looking for homely and cosy, but they lock the gates of a night and the price is excellent. B&B for 38€. Rooms are always warm and clean, with your own shower & toliet.
Have great trip.

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.
