brads,

If you went from Liams link on the previous page, yes, he copied it wrong. (I have now fixed it)

If you went to the event page, and then registration link from there you'd get this, which works fine. Is this what you tried?

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/eve...gistration.php

If you couldn't get to the above page, try again and you'll be good to go!

You CAN just show up on the day, but it costs more! And it helps us to plan and organise better if you register online.

have fun!

Not long to go and we are still adding to the list of presenters

Sean Dillon If you haven't been following Sean's blog of his trip through the Americas on a Honda Cub then where have you been this last year. Sean is between adventures (next stop Africa) and will be along to spill the beans of the Americas leg. I cannot better his own description of his presentation.


"Sean Dillon set out from Ireland in August 2011 to ride from the Arctic Circle in Alaska to the Southern most tip of Argentina, his mission to prove the humble Honda Cub is the king of motorcycles.

After thoroughly thrashing the bike through 46,000 km avoiding the Pan America highway like the plaque, riding through asphalt,dirt,mud, salt, sand, snow and ice the little Honda heroically finished the trip and even added a world record to its accolades for the highest altitude achieved on a Honda Cub at 5706m above sea level on a volcano in Chile.

Along the way Sean had encounters with rebel groups in Mexico, slept with homeless in the united states, slept under bridges, in tree houses,abandoned sheds, boat and houses.

The presentation covers the deranged thoughts of a frustrated Irish man that drove him to pack in his job and go in the search of adventure. It also includes some funny stories, videos, photos and a few road poems to boot."


Peter Francon Peter will be accompanying Paddy Tyson and has offered to give a "speed talk" on a four week unsupported solo ride into the tribal regions of North East India on a Royal Enfield (as you do!!!) Should be entertaining Check out Peters webpage

www.freespiritadventure.com - FreeSpirit Adventure Tours - Motorcycle Adventure Across India Nepal Tibet Bhutan

There are still places left on the weekend. If you want to come along you can find more information on some of the presenters here

Yes the weather is unbelievably good at the minute, great stuff!

We're planning to arrive on Saturday morning and hopefully camp at the event for the night - is camping included in the £35 day fee does anyone know?

What a fabulous weekend!!!

I had a ball at this meeting and am already looking forward to the one next year.

It was the third time I attended the Ireland meeting and every time the organisers out-do themselves. Big Thanks Liam, Naomi, Jochen, Brian, Geraldine and everybody else, who put so much effort and detail into this event.

The food was delicious (without a doubt the best I ever had at a rally or meet up), the entertainment fabulous and the presentations mind-blowing. I'm gutted that I can't just drop everything and head off again myself. My own little adventure is becoming a distant memory.

For once the weather was good all weekend ... leaving many people wondering what country they were in :confused1:

It was great to meet all the regulars again and also to meet all the new people, who I'm sure will be returning next year ...

Liam and Naomi I hope you'll have a wonderful trip and I'm looking forward to your presentation in 2015!

I'm sure somebody will be along shortly to make with the pics ...

Claudia

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.
