I reckon I should be able to make this meet, tried for Donington but work commitments and the ongoing build of the truck didn't allow me the time..

This would be our first Hubb meet so a couple of questions.. I have a truck (Bedford MJ) that carry our two 650 KLR's on the back and acts as home! is there somewhere we can park the rig or am I best just bringing the bikes and camping gear?

Been a bit non computer friendly how do I book and pay?

Forget my last I found the registration page ;-) so should be good to go!! I guess I fit in the motorhome category which sounds a bit grand for a big dirty truck that needs no electric hook up and most certainly docent need hard standing.. Will register and roll up and park as close to the camp fore as possible.. looking forward to it ;-)

Great news we have managed to arrange a great adventure this is abseiling down the famous ashgill falls and then gill scrambling at the bottom all equipment is supplied for only£35 to avoid disappointment book early .
Also don't forget the mine tour to the ball room flats which is a experience not to be forgotten
There's still some places in the bunkhouse as camping is nearly full so get booking
Cheers Danny

I'm in, registered & paid - looks too good to miss so flying in from Thailand specially ... well almost

I went to the HUBB UK meeting in June as a HUBB newbie & that lead to buying a new bike the following week ... now looking forward to putting some more miles on her & hopefully a some (gentle) off-road

Can't wait!

I've booked for the weekend camping & trail riding on the Saturday, really looking forward to it as I had a great time here last year.

How do you book the abseiling & scrambling?
Or will that be happening when the trail riding's on?

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
