Highland Mini Meet 2019
Hi Folks - some of you may remember the Highland Meets of 6 plus years ago - well we have decided to give it another shot.
Angus and I have just got our heads together and set a date for a new Highland Mini Meet, and have decided on weekend beginning Friday 3rd May.
All welcome - very informal just a few tents pitched at Cannich Campsite and probably a ride out on the Saturday. The Affric bar is now closed but there is another pub in the village and a small cafe at the campsite. For those that have not been before this is not a fully organised meet - just an opportunity for a few like minded people to kick tyres, trade tales and have a few s. Cannich is situated approx 20 mile from Inverness and would be a great starting point for anyone thinking of exploring the North of Scotland.
We look forward to seeing the return of some old friends and hopefully get to make a few more

I'm there !!! Looking forward to it.
It's been too long. Let me know if you need help organising.
I've sent messages to a lot of the 'Old Gang' who don't use the hubb very often now. Hopefully it will be a nice re-union .

Brlliant news
I am packing now (not heat ) Looking forward to this. Its starting to feel like a school re-union already. Intending to arrive on the Friday. No idea from which direction as Ted is unsure of whether to do the NC 500 first or after.

Will there be a Peruvian panpipes playing troupe?
It's in the diary. Will confirm attendance closer to the time. Thanks for organising this

I will dust down the bike, check that all my inoculations are up to date to head north of the boarder and I look forward to having a dram or two with you all very soon

Now that's a lie oh dad of the warrior's. Or should that be grandad with your memory loss.
And yes ! I'll 100% be on my Africa Twin. Or the Transalp. Or maybe the XT660. Or maybe the Funduro. Or maybe the Dommie. I could take the VT750 for a laugh too.
Or I could borrow a brand new 1250 GSA with £10,000 worth of luggage on it
Or I could bring firewood and a big BBQ in my van for you ungrateful buggers !!!
I'll only come on the bike if we can take selfies and ride around the campsite standing on our pegs.

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.
