Beej - itll be good to see you again and the rest of the Edinburgh crew that's coming down.

Anyone reading this that may be put off coming along by the off-roading bit, it is not compulsary. Last time there was a few of us that weren't up for off-roading after the Friday night so we drank tea a little longer and then went for a lovely road ride. In fact, you don't even have to do that if you don't want to. It's just a great chance to meet up with like minded people, have a chat, a drink and a laugh.

See you all there.

They have room for camping and accomodation, pricing is as follows:

Camping: £5 per person, per night (No open fires allowed)

B+B: £35 per person, per night

They will do brekkies for us campers, price will be about £6.

Anyone wanting to book a room should phone The Green Dragon direct (01969 667392) and ask for Yvonne or Stuart.

Fritz - if it's wintry and you're away in the hills sledging, does Bev go with you or will she come and meet us? I do hope you both come along.

So, all those in favour, say aye!

Debz

Yahoo cant you make it over later on saturday then you will get you will get to meet everyone and have a pint and a chat, most of us will be a little bit wobbly bye then and the chat may be slightly none-sensible to anyone not as wobbly but be nice to see you all the same. Sunday is often a recovering and packing up day with as Brian said for the foolhardy a short off road ride out maybe !

New to Horizons Unlimited?

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
