Hi Jake
I'll be going over during the day but Iain can't get the day off so he'll be following over a night. Do u fancy riding over together? Think I'm at work in the morning but finish at 12 on a Friday so could leave from Blyth then if that suits you? I'll give you a phone one night.

Hope to make it, should be fine though I would prob come down Sat for one night. I'd also be up for chipping in for communal food too though most likely will bring my own booze.

Cheers

I'm Scottish (but living in England) so you won't be alone! Had hoped that a few more of our country folks might have come along with it being in Scotland but never mind.

I'll post directions soon. See you on the Saturday

I am hoping to come along arriving on the Friday. Is there anyone else going to be camping? I'm also happy to chip in for everything. I'll confirm next week.

Are there any nearby B&B - just in case!

Rob

Hi Rob

We'll all be camping. Andy & Maya have a pretty big garden and if we need more space they can get the use of the big field behind them, so no worries.

Hopefully see you there.

Hiya

Does everyone that is having drink supplied (with us sharing the costs) by the hosts like , rather than lager?

Rob - 'there' is approx 12 miles north west of Dumfries, a mile or two from Dunscore. I will post proper directions in a couple of days and will also post the GPS reference.

Andy - glad to hear physio is going well, see you there. Are you happy to have food and provided and chip in with costs?

Still trying to clear it with the missus, am getting serious grief

Will be extra nice to her tonight, if it goes well then joining in on the ale/food would be superb. Have got cabin fever and need to get out.

would be great to see you guys again.

Hi all

Got menu/costs, I'm sure you'll agree, they are very reasonable (and having sampled Maya's cooking before I think it is well worth the money!)

Brekkies - Cooked with all the usual stuff

Friday Evening Meal: Chilli and Maya's apple pie for dessert

Saturday evening meal: Haggis, neeps & tatties OR Meatballs, neeps & tatties and cheesecake for dessert.

Costs: Brekkie - £2, evening meal - £3

Drink - Andy has secured a deal with the local brewery and there will be and lager available. Cost for drink is £1.60 per pint bottle.

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.
