Smile HU France 2019 is happening Sep 20-22!

« HORIZONS UNLIMITED » English below

Le rassemblement français des aventuriers(ières) moto, vélo, 4x4 fête ses 6 ans du 21 au 23 septembre prochain à Loupiac (Lot).

Du 20 au 22 septembre, Horizon Unlimited donne rendez-vous à tous les amoureux d’aventures pour un week-end de rencontres, d’échanges, d’ateliers et de balades en toute convivialité, à Loupiac dans le Lot.

Vous avez un rêve de voyage mais vous hésitez encore ?

Venez-vous inspirer auprès de celles et ceux qui ont réalisé leurs rêves et reviennent de leurs périples en écoutant leurs récits d’aventures, en découvrant leurs films de voyages et tout simplement en discutant avec eux.

Vous avez un projet concret de road trip et encore quelques détails à régler ?

Venez-vous informer en participant à des ateliers pratiques autour du logiciel BASECAMP et des ateliers de mises en condition (réparation de pneumatiques, préparation mécanique) pour vous parer à toutes les situations imprévues…

Un espace librairie avec cartes, guides de voyage, road book ainsi que la présentation des derniers équipements techniques existants vous seront également proposés.

Vous voulez partir et rouler de suite ?

Une superbe balade d’une demie journée sera également au programme et des road book seront fournis sur place pour celles et ceux qui veulent explorer la région en toute liberté.

Loin d’un énième salon de tours opérateurs, Horizon Unlimited se veut avant tout la rencontre entre aventuriers aguerris, apprentis baroudeurs, globe-trotters dans l’âme… tous réunis et animés par la même envie, celle de réaliser son rêve d’aventure sur les routes les moins fréquentées du monde et de le partager.

Plus d’infos à venir !

HORIZONS UNLIMITED

The French meeting for motorcyclists, cyclists or 4x4 travelers is happening from September 20th to 22nd in Loupiac (Lot).

Horizons Unlimited invites all adventure lovers for a weekend of meetings, exchange, workshops and ride-outs, in Loupiac, in the Lot Department, all in a convivial atmosphere.

Do you dream about traveling, but still hesitate?

Come and inspire yourself alongside those who have realized their dreams and have returned from their journeys, by listening to the stories of their adventures, by discovering their travel movies and by simply talking to them.

Do you have a specific road trip project and still have some details that you need to work on?

Come and gather information by participating in practical workshops covering the BASECAMP software and in workshops covering all aspects of preparations (tire repair, mechanics), which will allow you to be able to deal with any and all unforeseen situations.

A library area with maps, travel guides, road books, as well as the presentation and display of the latest technical gear, will also be available.

Do you want to leave and ride off right away?

A great half-day ride-out is also scheduled and road books will be available on site for those who wish to explore the region on their own.

Far from being just another exhibit by tour operators, Horizons Unlimited seeks to be, above all, a meeting between seasoned adventurers, novice travelers, and globe-trotters in the soul... All gathered together and driven by the same desire, that to realize their dreams of adventures on the less traveled roads of the world and to share them.

Registration is open now!

I had a great time when I attended the 5th annual French meeting, so looking forward very much to this. It will be my first trip on the KTM 790 Adventure, should be about 2,700km.

Overnight ferry to St Malo booked for tomorrow night, then I have five days exploring Brittany and Pays de la Loire where I have waypointed lots of interesting stuff to visit.

Afterwards on to the Swallows camp site for the meeting where the weather forecast is 29ºC, so lovely and warm.

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.
