Portugal HU meet
Hopefully I'll be heading to Portugal for the HU meet. Does anyone have GPS position for the rally site? I like to be prepared for these things early
Insecure? Me? nah, never

Don't have GPS sorry - but it's easy to find, no worries. We found it easily last year. See you there!
(But I will try for better directions! )

Registration?
Grant,
When does the registration open? We're planning our mid summer trip based on this meeting and it would be nice to 'ink' in the dates.
Thanks.

I know we've asked the question before, but any idea when registration for Portugal will be open?
We've got time off work to book and baby sitters to arrange and time is marching on.
I'm still keen to arrange something for Andalucia before the year is out and I'm hanging around waiting to see what happens with Portugal.
Any info you have will be greatly appreciated.

Dates (25/26 Aug)/venue fixed or likely to vary, that kind of thing.

Possibly a daft question but I can't find the daft answer -
Will talks / presentations be in English or Portugese or a mixture or something completely different ?
Thank you.

Grant: Portugal, some information please.
Grant,
The Portugal meet is next month, yet there is still no registration or information available - but registration for events happening after Portugal are already open and being actively promoted.
May I on behalf of the myself and others ask the following questions again:
1. Is the meet definitely on?
2. What languages will the presentations be in?
3. What presentations are scheduled?
4. What are the GPS co-ordinates?
I am sure that you will appreciate that many travellers need to book ferry crossings, arrange their holiday, etc. and early answers to these questions will help them make their arrangements as soon as possible.
Incidently have any members already booked their crossing for the Portugal Meet?

Sorry for the delays folks! I'm getting there, really...
YES the meeting is on!! WE will be there. Reg will open shortly. I'm working on the page now. The presentations are mixed - English and Portugese - there's translators available as needed.
soon, soon, really, I'm trying....

See you all in Portugal!
Registration is open, and we have the first registrations in already, so book now. We'll both be there, and then riding up to the HUMM in Spain afterwards - makes a fun two week trip on the continent with lots happening both weekends.

We prefer pre-reg as it makes it all a lot easier for us, but no problem if you're not sure - so long as we don't get hordes just arriving it's no biggie.
So yes, no problem! Just don't expect a tshirt etc.
see you there!

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.
