Ireland - June 24-26. We're back in Enniskillen, what a fantastic venue and the friendliest people you will ever meet! "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!" Liam, Naomi, Jochen and the team already have a bunch of great presenters lined up. Mark your calendars! Online registration will be open soon!

Looking forward to it. Just signed up to go to the UK event the weekend before, should be a nice week!

We have just received an update from a few regular attendees of HU Ireland who will not be able to make it to Enniskillen this year as they will be off on their second "Road Of Bones" and Bam Road trip. Good luck to them, ride safe and looking forward to hearing the stories (oh yes there will be stories smile emoticon ) next year! Why not sign up to their fb page "Bam Riders"



"2016 schedule for the Bam Riders.

In late July we plan to leave Magadan for our second tour of the Old Summer road. This time we are aiming to take in a bit more of what our route has to offer instead of just riding the trails. We will spend a little more time at Kadychan, the deserted city, and visit Oymyakon which is the coldest inhabited town in the world.
This trip we will be accompanied by Míde Maher, who as far as we know will be the second western woman to cross the old summer road by bike and her bike of choice will be a Honda CRF 230.
Also joining us are 2 friends from Germany, Fritz and Thomas whom we met in Vladivostok in 2014 whilst they were driving around the world in a Mini and have since become good friends!
Gary O Keeffe from our 2014 trip will be travelling by jeep, after tearing his ligaments in both his legs on the last trip, riding the bike will not be possible for him this year.
Gary has an ongoing adventure which this trip will be a small part of, you can find information about this at 1eyeontheworld.com
From the old summer road we plan to head south to Yakutsk where Míde will fly back to Ireland. The rest of the group will carry on to Tynda and the start of the western Bam which we will take as far as the start of the 110 which heads south down the eastern side of lake Baikal.
The southernmost part of the 110 leads us to Ulaan Ude where we will obtain our visa’s for Mongolia.Then down to Ulaanbator where we will leave our bikes and equipment for a later trip across the Gobi desert, Pamir highway and the Stans."

Hello all,
So excited to be back in Ireland for the Travellers Meeting this weekend. Maybe I can buy a horse, a piebald pony or a new Gypsy Caravan. Incredible how the Travellers Meetings have taken off...
See you Friday... please keep the Guinness warm for me...

You are off my pint buying list for that (true) comment

What a great weekend! Even though the rain rarely let up, a brilliant time was had by all. Top marks to Liam and his team for putting on yet another great event.

Hope to see some of you on the road! and if not, till next year.

Merv and Sarah.

Just received this message from Motorcycle Outreach.

"A big THANK YOU to all you lovely people who donated, bought raffle tickets, and otherwise raised funds for us during HU Ireland's weekend event. We are delighted to say that you have raised £375 for us, which will go a long way and reach a lot of people. We are very grateful to you all! Please check out our Facebook page and our website for our latest news, and to see how you can support us even more if you like - oh, and spread the word! Thanks again."

Not only was it a great weekend but also now the bonus of knowing that the raffle monies raised will make a difference. Well done everyone who attended.

Last week I gave an update on Jeff Smith at the Horizons Unlimited Ireland meeting.Jeff suffered a heart attack in Russia. It is with a sad heart that I have learned that he has lost his battle. All those who followed his blog will know just how special and inspirational a person he was. My deepest condolences to Tia and all his family circle. May his enthusiasm and love of humanity continue to inspire us all.
