The ranks of trade stands in the Adventure Travel Zone at HUBB UK 2014 were swelled further this morning by a booking from Tamarack Outdoors.

They'll have a selection from their range availale to buy at the event itself, but have also kindly offered HUBB UK attendees a 10% discount off any purchases made online.
If that's of interest to you, visit the Tamarack Outdoors website and enter the promotional code 'HUBB' during the checkout process.

Last day to register at lowest rate
It's been good to see lots of you getting your registrations in over the last few days before the discounts reduce.
A quick final reminder for anyone still planning to take advantage of the lowest rates... the cut-off for event passes with the biggest discounts is 9pm this evening (UK time - Saturday 31st August).
Visit the HUBB UK 2014 event page for full details.

You will be glad to hear that some of the people following our blog have actually asked to see us and that we do a live presentation. Since we'll do it at the HUBB anyway, we directed them to here, so a few new people should definitely come this year and discover HU also!
Cheers from Kyrgyzstan, as our offroad journey is about to end...

Will we have to pay a premium for the Touratech UK field?
Seriously, though, I'm already looking forward to going! I had a great time last year.

Personal note from me on the Touratech sponsorship - would have made it before when the news came in but Birgit and I have been on a ride  .
"Thanks very much. You guys getting involved like this are one of the key ways that we have been able to keep the cost for people attending at the same rate for the third year running. This is something we have been really keen to do. Keeps pennies in people's pockets for the road."

At long last my boss got the proverbial finger out of his (insert something suitable) and I got the holiday selection sheet, Yee Haaaa the week with the dates we need for the HUBB are free, so I guess we will be there in 2014.
Now I get a few months to figure out an interesting route to get there, home will be a quick blast up the M roads to the sunny North.

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.
