Even the noise from the planes became less as the weekend progressed !!!!!

fantastic event-I arrived on Wednesday & although wet...the cockles of my very heart were warmed by Ted Simons unique presentation. Ed March..proved that care in the community is working..God how I wish I had a tongue like his!...it(the talk) was excellent, as were many of the other talks I attended. The planes were not a problem for me..but then again neither was the vat of wine that disappeared down my gullet!long live PINOT !
Really enjoyable time..great people, great organisation and well worth the weekend!

After 9 years on this forum I finally managed to get to the HUBB UK and had a truly amazing time despite missing half the talks I'd planned on seeing through chatting to everyone (sorry to those whose ears I bent).
Thank you to everyone who made it happen especially Sam and Iain who were always smiling and chatting when I'm sure they had 200 things to do.

A big thanks from Danny and myself to all those who came over for the Roadkill and for the evenings round the fire.
Really good to see some new faces and to meet some of the 4x4 crowd. Great to have some variety at the event - hope to meet more of you next year.
Saw some old friends met some new ones and had a great time.
One person even guessed the mystery animal straight away - but of course we didn't tell them that...  Most of you were way off the mark, but some of you made some excellent guesses.
Thanks to the volunteers who formally and informally (yes, that means you Matt!) came and helped out and to the clean up crews. A willing helper at the right time does make a huge difference.
A special thanks to Angus (hope I remembered that right) the young lad on the Piaggio Hexagon sidecar outfit who was good company and had such a great attitude to the whole thing. Hope to see you again next year.
Danny - you'd best go finish building Haggs Bank Bunkhouse now that you have customers lining up to go and stay! Huge thanks to you, Cindy and the kids as always. HU wouldn't be the same without you.

Hubb uk 2013
What can I say, brilliant just brilliant.
It was my first time attending this event and as soon as I made my plans to go, way back last year, my wife and son decided that they too wanted to come. I have to admit that I was a bit reluctant to have them tag along but I agreed to it and am so glad I did, they took the car and so we managed to cram in a lot more than I could have carried on the bike which made for a relatively luxurious weekend by normal standards - I think a few people wondered how I carried so much on the bike.
We have all come away truly inspired and raring to go, my son was made very welcome by all and so the next generation is well on their way.
Thanks to all involved and.....see you next year.

Great event. Many thanks to one and all for organizing, and to all the presenters, volunteers and the people who visited.
As a Landy owner it was so great to see and meet people with a common interest, irrespective of the number of wheels.
Well done the HUBB!

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.
