Hi everyone, please to announce that we will be joining. We will do a presentation of our (as usual!) very eventful trip last year from London to Mongolia via the stans (and back! Although cheating a bit with the trans siberian train).

Salut a tous! Nous nous joindrons au meeting et ferons une présentation de notre voyage, l'année dernière, de Londres a Ulaanbaator , en suivant la route de la Soie, et retour a travers la Russie.

Et nous serons bien evidemment a votre disposion pour répondre a vos questions.

Well it's all coming together nicely. The presentation schedule is now full, and further details of the other presenters and their talks/workshops will be added to the web page as soon as possible. Available space for tent campers is getting booked up quickly, so if you are planning on coming, and haven't yet done so, please get registered as soon as possible.

( Please note that we are using a registered campsite, which in France means strict licencing rules. It's not flexible, so if the allowed tent space is booked up, it'll be chalets and mobile homes only.)

High Summer now and getting closer to our Sept event. This is only the third year for HU meetings in France, kicked off by a mini meet with 15 people down in the Aveyron where with Mark & Gemma Herron we got things off to a flying start with their welcome and organisation. This year, we already have 70 registered for this event with a few weeks to go- so it should be buzzing. This years presenters are top quality, from a retro look at an RTW, to great travels happening this year, along with in depth map reading and other workshops including one for the ladies. Superb support from the GS club France ( GSFR) means we have a very french flavour to the meeting, which is a recipe for excellent humour and great food! ( especially after an apero )

If you want to be part of this, register as soon as you can. It's great fun, and language is never an issue, we all understand a smile!

Only 30 days to go till the meeting, and a few weeks only before registration closes. If you are planning to come, please register as soon as you can. Had a preview of Roger Primout's Scandinavian video yesterday, great stuff! , not to be missed on the Friday night, it will put us in the mood for a great weekend of top quality travel stories and workshops.

Last minute call for a Presenter

Hello all, as you can see we have a good line up for this year, but we have a 40 min slot available on Saturday morning for anyone who would like to give a talk about their travels or a presentation on any related subject, like packing/maintenance/photography/camping. If you are coming to the meeting, or thinking about it, and would like to get involved then please PM me as soon as possible.

Thanks.

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.
