I suspect there will be a lode of pads/slates slung off bikes with the games on and the odd wagon with a 56" screen.

HI Sam,
I saw the announcement for the ride Dover-Donington with Grant and Susan.
I like the idea riding with them and I´m happy that I´m in Englang at at that time.
Where can I find some further information about starting time or meeting point?
Cause I have to change some plans riding the south of UK then.
Could you help me?
Tabea

Because I'm feeling a bit pooped after the BMF show I'm sitting having a ride down memory lane this morning. There are quite a few Youtube films from previous years of the HUBB UK out there and they've all made me smile. What a brilliant atmosphere. This one is from Louise Wilson.

I see you've said you're going on the Facebook event page. Do you still need more info or are you all sorted now?

It’s just 30 days to go!!!! The HUBB UK starts on Thursday the 19th of June.
"What a FANTASTIC event!!!!! We found the atmosphere totally different to our usual events; everyone was so friendly – it was almost like one big family. We found the talks inspiring... the HUBB event isn’t a show – rather it is a ‘gathering of like-minded people’, and we decided we liked that very much."
Love that

Old Hubb attendee and now with children...
Hi all
Been a while since I came to an event. A long while.. and lots happened
I met a guy a work recently who mentioned the Hubb and I decided to have a look at the site again. Upon visiting (it looks great by the way), I see it's expanded out to 4x4's and bicycles (my latest mode of overland transport). Great stuff!
I have a Mitsubishi Delica these days (fitted with a snorkel to keep the dream alive), and two little children (one is nearly 3 and other is 10 months).
Question - would it be suitable for my wife and I to attend the Donnington event with Delica, 4 man tent and the two little ones? We would just lap up the atmosphere really as although I would love to go to the evening talks, I understand they wouldn't be allowed, which is fine of course as they'll be asleep. If not maybe we will come again another year

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.
