The campsite has asked for everyone to book via email as it is easier for them to send you a online payment link and to deal with your request (as it is the cafe staff who also man the phone!). If anyone has any problems with booking then please let us know and we will do our best to help.

CAMPFIRE...

If you have space then please bring a few logs for the fire or if not then a few pounds to buy some from the campsite shop. We will forage for wood but we will need some dry kindling & firewood to get the fire started on both nights!


Looking forward to seeing some old faces and meeting new friends,

Beej n Chris

Yippee now that its officially an event means I can get excited about attending.
Think I will be in car but not sure, if so will be bringing wood.
My plans are to go for a wee wander to the summit of West Lomond, 533m, if anyone wants to join me you are more than welcome.
It wont be a fast walk more like a saunter.
See you all there

Liz & Mike

Hello there, I may be interested in this, though I've never been to one of these before.

Is this the place just outside Falkland where they grow all the organic food and sell it in their shop ?

steve172 - There won't be a guided run as such but Sean & Debs (who are local to the area), are going to make up self guided direction sheets for both a short and a full day run so that people can go off to explore the local area if they want to!

Cabby - Hope your first mini meet is this one! Yes... that's the place! The cafe serves amazing cakes too!

Chris and Beej - I had hoped to come to this meet up this year but have now got long lost family descending for that weekend so am unable to make it - (where would I rather be - certainly not here that's for sure - but family and commitments mean a brave face and a big smile (very difficult that one) Here is hoping they cancel for some reason - if they do then I will be coming but its not looking good. Jake.

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.
