I'm in!

I'm pretty sure I've got nothing else on that weekend, looking forward to it!
Probably come down for Sat trail ride and stay the night.

I'd do a talk if you're struggling to find anyone else, but if you can find someone actually worth listening to, they should take priority ;-)

....

Hi Steve..

I`m from southampton ...westwellow area...

I know a long 2 hrs+ trail from sparsholt across to salisbury and countess services..we use it to access salisbury plain and the droves...runs by the Airfield too..typical Hamshire trails..in winter irs slippy and full of tree roots and flint..but summer its fine as long as guys have some experience and tkc minimum..okay Tourance if your a off road God...

I can lead or follow or change round etc as needed just nice to get out and about..

The shaftesbury drove is okay but thats a long days trails..I normally do a circuit and take in the stones etc..There are some trails north from Overton to Basinstoke ..but dont know them..more enduro ..

I cant camp as wifes a broken Elbow so needed at home ..but will be up sat morning 8.30am..

even if its just a couple of riders thats fine..I`m cool ether way..

thorns

Hi Steve..

Had a quick ride out this afternoon on the trials around Broughton etc..the council have been out hedge cutting which was needed,,but why dont they clean up afterwards..

loads of thorns everywhere..had 3 in front 2 in rear..so had to ride back with a flat front tyre as I only carry one tube..not a happy bunny..

so I`d avoid the trails in this area..they had been out on 4 seperate sections that all link up..

It was nice and dry though with excellent views...

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.
