Mini meet Brighton - Sussex (UK)
Are there any overlanders in and around Brighton, Sussex who fancy meeting up for a few  s?
I know there are a few people scattered around, as I met a couple in Colombia a few years back, but lost there details while still on the road.
If you're planning your first trip I'm also happy to help, as it's always good to catch up with like minded people over a  or two.
Personally I'm looking into a trip to Africa in the next few years.
Iain.

I'm in Eastbourne, so Brighton's only a hop away. I might be away for some of October, but otherwise free.

I was just going to suggest just meeting in a quietish pub, with some bike parking near by, perhaps on a Thursday or Friday in October, although I'm happy to go with the flow.
How are people fixed on Thursday 16th or Friday 17th October to meet up in a Brighton\Hove pub at around 7:30ish?
The idea was simply to get a few local people from horizons together for a  , talking trips, bikes & the great unknown.
Danward79, have you got a local you'd recommend? If not I'm happy to suggest somewhere.
Iain.

Hi Iain,
It is probably best if you suggest somewhere. I am not to familiar with the local watering holes...

Count me in. I'm over in Southwick. I'm planning a trip to Ghana next September-ish. It'll be great to speak to like-minded people.

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.
