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

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

Hi Spud, great to hear you’ll be back! Looking forward to catching up on your news.

Suitable? Absolutely! You’ll all be very welcome. HU loves the idea of starting overlanders young.

The real thing of course is you making sure that nowt happens to them. Bikes and Expedition vehicles, the fire drums etc H&S and all that means you have to take full responsibility, but you’ll be expecting that anyway. I’d be wrong if I didn’t point out that the event is aimed at adults and so there isn’t anything lined up for youngsters to do, but quite a few people have brought their kids over the years and we are told it works well for everyone – lots to see and around overlanders there’s always a great atmosphere eh.

See you in a month I hope!

The big marquee cinema will be set up next to the main Threshing Barn presentation room again this year. Courtesy of sponsors, Code Audio Visual, it'll be even better than last time with two screens instead of one so that both the presenters and their presentations can be streamed together.

We'll be screening two films this year... 'Somewhere Else Tomorrow' by Jupiter's Traveller Daniel Rintz and 'Aim for the Horizon' by main event sponsor Adventure-Spec.com - here's a trailer to whet your appetite....

We are bringing our daughter, she'll be 5 months

Sam has asked me to post a little taster of my presentations …

In 2010 I gave up my job to follow my dream and travel half way around the world. The HUBB, website and two Ripley meetings I went to gave me the confidence to do this trip so I am more than happy to share my thoughts and hopefully encourage others to do the same.

I spend a year travelling from Alaska to Panama and then South Africa to Nairobi. I started out on my own, my wife came out for part of the trip and in southern Africa I met up with some other bikers and we rode together.

Therefore I’m going to do a presentation on my experiences of riding solo, two–up and in a group. Each have their own benefits and challenges and I’ll be sharing my own, unique views with the aid of some photos and music.



Also…

Last summer I went to Norway and was blown away by this wonderful land. I only saw one other UK registered bike in 5 weeks. So I’ll also be doing a presentation on Norway encouraging more people to go there. If you like Scotland you’ll love Norway!

When I’m not doing this I’ll be in the ‘Authors tent’ book signing. When I came back from my trip I got frustrated by people asking my which part was the most dangerous or suggesting I was in some way 'brave' to do this alone. The world is NOT a scary place, people are friendly and helpful and travelling like this is the best thing I have ever done. I wanted to share this with people so I decided to write a book.

The Ted Simon Foundation helped me and ‘Gone Riding’ has been selling well since it was launched at the NEC in November. More importantly it’s been getting good reviews. So come along to grab a copy or just have a chat.
