Char,

Shame.....

Me and Mark (Bushman) will miss you this time (we went to the one you organised - was it 2008 ?). We have a good excuse though... we start our own RTW on 2nd April so we hope you have a good one.

What a great day out!

A big thanks to Matt/Mr Fox for putting together the off road ride out, I think it's safe to say we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Good work to our two novice off roaders Carl and Paul for jumping in with both feet (at the deep end!).

Great to meet the new folks, and what a great turn out. That must have been almost every Bristol HU member we had in the pub this evening.

I love the idea that we talked about, of a Christmas get together. I'd be happy to try and organise it if there's some interest.

Another ride out before Christmas as well??

I would´ve loved to come from London but I was hesitating because of the offroad ride since I own a bandit 600. The pub meeting was tempting though. Maybe next time. Is there any place where we can see any pictures of your meeting?
Cheers.

No Worries Ian.

Just incase anyone is free this weekend I'm planning to Ride the Ox and Shaftsbury Droves on Sunday.

I'm meeting people at Warminster Services at 9:30.

Well be leaving Bristol at 8.30 so can travel in convoy if you wish.

I know people said about another pub meet close to Xmas how does Sunday the 12th December sound?? I'm happy to organise another trail ride/ or a road ride if people wish to brave the cold.

12th December Meet
Hi all picking up where we left off last time, The next Bristol Meet on the 12th December road ride then a few jars at the King William again.

I think we're going for a road ride this time, any suggestions where people would like to go??

About an hour each way would be good so we can ride have a cuppa and be back at the King william for 4pm.

Hi All,

Hopefully it gets warmer over the next week but the weather forcast says otherwise.

Those of you who are up for a road ride next sunday Ive planned a liitle road bimble over the mendips for the 12th December.

The Rough route is Bristol, Burrington Coombe, Cheddar Gorge, Wedmore

At Wedmore we can stop for a Coffee somewhere.

Returning to Bristol Via Wells.

If we meet at about 11:30 at the SS Great Britian Car Park an then we should be back in time for 4pm for a few drinks in the King William again.

Those that can't make the ride, I hope to see you in the King William again.

Thanks

Bristol mini meet
Hi,

a couple of us 4x4 guys are meeting at the Willy Wicket in Bristol this Thursday (24th) from 2000hrs to chew the fat and kick tyres. If anyone wants to come along either bike or 4x4 then we'll see you there. Both of us have been to Morocco a few times (I'm going again in March) so could give a little advice if anyone wants it.

I've got a big green landy, and Clive has a landy campervan.

Cheers

Guy

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.
