WOW what a great weekend filled with an amazing group of people and just thought probably filled with the most travelled people in the UK, even had traveller's from Holland and Belgium. Two off rd runs with an easy and hard route which even the famous Terry Brown enjoyed!
The road run took us on the highest fell in the UK and the highest road in the UK as well , then there was the river crossing which Bram and I survived while others, concerned for our safety, took loads of pictures and filmed the event just in case....... but this was a adventure weekend , the local went down a treat too! We had a total of 40 people turn up over the weekend, so a big thanks to everyone who came and helped to make a magic weekend that has to be repeated

It's Monday morning and back at home we have both a big smile on our face! Andy and I enjoyed every minute at this beautiful and warm place. We felt very welcome and had a great time with this nice bunch of people.
Thank you all and especially Danny and Catz, who both spoiled us rotten!
Andy and Maya.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

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

Susan and Grant Johnson Read more about Grant & Susan's story

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.
