Not that this can't move but for a weekend, try the Ace Cafe Overland & Adventure Day on March 22nd.

Neither that nor this is a cab ride from Stanstead but then not much is.

Is that within a cab /tube ride of the Stanstead?
Stansted has a good train and coach service.

Okay, someone (hootchy_cootchy?) needs to call this. Are we meeting 19th or 21st?

I can't make 21st but that's okay; can't please all of the people, all of the time.

Anyone want to try for this again, perhaps without trying to meet the needs of "non-UK HUBBers" who chime in, disrupt plans but never actually turn up?

Meet up in London
Hi again

Same as before, up for a meet, I can't see why it's difficult if people are in or around London.
I think that if given a time and place to meet its easier for others to decide and if they can't then another time do it all again.

I'm in.....................................getting thirsty

Alright, let’s do it another way...........

Saturday 13 June at the Wetherspoons Pub in Canary Wharf.

We held a meeting here before and it went down well with lots turning up, food was good and affordable with drinks, large space with areas to meet.

How about Lunch, meeting at Midday for a and a chat, all welcome.

I am off on my own RTW so all and any advice, bring it down and tell me : )

The Leger Building ( near the museum of London )

Good call. I've been trying to nail down a date when I'm free.

Unfortunately, I'll still be in Bangalore on Saturday.

Have fun.

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.
