Hi all, due to an enforced change of circumstances am pretty certain I wont be able to make this event. I am gutted about it.
So I have a place available for a tent, if anyone wants to purchase this how would we go about selling/ swapping names on the list etc?

Thats Mike paid up for the weekend. We will be arriving on the Thursday so fingers crossed we get a bottom of hill campsite less distance to stagger back to the tent.
Will be great to meet up with everyone again.

we have some flat areas down by the river if its that bad lol, I have made some more plots for the adventure folks who want to feel as tough they are wild camping , Due to the amount of folks people will be asked to camp tight n o room for gardens , Plus remember with everything going on you wont be in your tent much ,
We now have some fantastic music on the Friday night Rember to bring your licence if you want ago on the ccm

Cant wait to see you all there

Thanks

Rough time at the moment. My own fault. Will be alright in the end though. Just means I cant get to this event. Disappointed as it would be my first.

Cheers

Dam.. I can't bring my XR650L to play on the lanes. The donor engine blew it's rings on the way home from Donington.

So, I'm brining my almost finished Dominator up. Sadly, on road tyres and also a totally collapsed rear shock. No speedo, no Dash etc. Half it's wiring still not finished so just tucked under the tank. haha.



I'm bringing my AA card with me for sure

See you all there

Make sure you pack your DL and conterfoil too. Test a CCM ? I will. I'll be on Af Twin and won't be greenlaning either. Lots of super paved roads up there.

Arriving Fri evening, hopefully before dark.

Anyone's welcome to join us.

Someone's got to test the

Seems like fun Ted! Grab a test bike from work for the weekend instead, I can just see you getting round on a shiny new GS smothered with TT gear

Well as luck would have it, I'm snowed under with work and the house hasn't sold. Cant believe 12 months has past! The weekend will be awesome if it goes remotely close to the inaugural meeting and I'm sure Danny and family will see to it! Obviously I'm going to miss it, otherwise Ted, Stan, Andy and I would have had a skin full at the Swinging Arm by now! To all the lads in the methane forest, Cheers Dave.

Just got back from Danny's place now. What a great weekend that was.

To all I missed saying goodbye to, I apologise. My hangover was kicking in and the 12 pork steaks I ate the night before seemed to be not sitting well on gallons of real ale.

See you all again soon I hope

Concur with the above sentiment. Top weekend. Super organisation by Danny and Cathy. Thanks for all your hard work and everything the helpers did too.

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.
