Talking Route down to HUMM

A couple of us have just signed and paid up. Should be sweet.

We're planning to head over to France on the Thurs night, and were just looking at a route down there...

Anyone got any thoughts for a scenic route?

Anyone going over on the ferry Thursday night, or know anything about getting cheap crossings?

Cheers, see you there folks

We've already got Plymouth/Santander ferry booked on the 27th July arriving Santander around midday on the 28th.
I'd really like to do this event but it's about 600k to the hotel, which is quite a lot for a half day.
Does anyone who knows the roads reckon it's reasonable. One of the bikes with us may well be a 250.

Question any oldies going

Would love to go this year, but I might only have a Triumph Trophy TR25W ('68). Are there any other classics going, as the 250 cc unit single doesn't exactly pump out the power!

I don't see a problem to the hotel from Santander in a half day. Though I reckon it's 450 kms (via Pamplona), 5 or 6 hours on a 250? Beers by 7 pm...

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.
