Anyone up for a Wild Camp

Would anyone be interested in a weekend's Wild camping .

The hidden valley {as I call it} is a great place to spend the night
next to a small stream with plenty of room to camp

You would need to bring everything with you that you wanted to eat and DRINK for the weekend
.

we can make a fire unlike most camp site's.

The nearest shop's and pub's are only 4 mile's away

easy to access , 20 minutes east after leaving jct 36 of the M6.

Couldn't help but notice the amount of people local to me (in West Yorkshire). Maybe a local meet could be arranged too - how about Squires at Sherburn???

As the weather is on the up I'll be going most weekends. I'll be easily spotted on my '84 Tenere.

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.
