post # 2... one more to go before I can send a PM!
Thanks, very kind of you.
Riding all the way there is Plan N - N for nervous... but never say never! If I wasn't riding alone, maybe... perhaps... ooooh, so temping... but...

I did it! Rode all the way there and back home again safely, without incident. Just like to say once again thanks to all those who offered help, and apologies if I wasn't able to say so face-to-face over the weekend.
The event exceeded all my expectations in so may ways. So glad I went and what a buzz meeting so many like-minded people.
To the organisers and volunteers, thank-you very much

The Dusty Old Bags had a ball at Enniskillen
Can't think why we have never made it to this meeting before! The craic was brilliant, as was the food, the organisation, the campsite, the showers, the presentations and all the lovely people who made it such a fab weekend! It was also great to meet so many women travellers, many on their own - and congrats to Carol1961 who found a way to get there (see earlier post with her dilemma...!)
Thanks to everybody who came to our presentation and to the wonderful Steve Morris who whisked us away to stay with him and his family and to show us some cracking roads and views in N.I. and Donegal. Little did we think when we met him on February 1st at the top of a hill outside Ooty in India, that we would see him again so soon!
Hope to see you all next year! Cheers Sheonagh and Pat

Craicing Time Hubbers
Despite being in carawagons and not our bikes, everyone made us (Robin and Steve) feel totally welcome at the HUBB.
Our track around the Wild Atlantic Way had seen us meet plenty of bikers and a few Hubbers, then it was wonderful to finally meet Liam, Naomi, Jochen and the crew.
Complemented, of course, with a drop of the black, a few full Irish's to slow us down, and the wee snifters of poteen (40%–90% ABV) that we didn't drink
So we made new friends and contacts, which is what the HUBB is all about, to hopefully meet up again on the road.
Mr G especially kept us entertained and chucklesome. I do hope my mind's as sharp as his when I reach 28 (or is that 82?).
Our final night post-ferry nicely prolonged the show, wild camping with Tiffany, Stephen and Tom in Anglesey.
Thanks to everybuddy and looking forward to next time

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.
