Belgian meeting
I am planning on going the the Belgian meeting. It's sort of on the way from Copenhagen to Cambridge.
And another 4 weeks later in South of England would also be fine.
Then 4 weeks after that....off into the sunset.

Tim thanks. Sound good! If we can get few people interested in a mini-meet down the sea side...
Ok guys what about Saturday 14th october? Ride south from London toward Brighton in the morning. Have lunch somewhere down the coast, pitch the tents and have few s.... talk of our past/future travels/plans, exchange ideas, and take it easy...
How many people up for it?
For those of you worried that October may be too cold for camping, lots of campsites rent also bungalows/caravans etc... sure we could sort something out!

can't make that weekend in october :(
Sorry guys but I won't be able to attend October weekend due to work commitments.
However, if any volunteer, I can offer to organise some evening drinks in town.
I know you can't ride your bike AND have a drink, (well I wouldn't!) but you can ride your bike any time! Let's meet, compare notes, exchange ideas and dream about our future trips!! Bring photos of your previous ones etc...
Ok here are details, say Friday 13th October (if you're not supertitious!) somewhere in central London for easy commute. Meeting from 5:30pm onward. If any one interested let me know here and I will check in fancyapint.com for a quiet pub where we can sit and talk! Feel free to suggest a pub.
Cheers,
Maria

Maybe we should abandon the idea then and just go to the pub instead.

So this one worked out well...
...the South london meet thread is hijacked by wee Scottish lads, but is narrowly reclaimed with the suggestion of a camping weekend, then turns onto a pub meet on a friday with no tents in sight.
Is it really a bikers catch up if we turn up after having caught the bus?
Any other friday/sat or sat/sun camping opportunities in the near future? what about August? It's a great month in London, no one is here!

weeekend
Hey Shell, you're right it's a bit messy!
The only WE we're free in August is on 12/13th. Should we try that date? Not familiar with local campings, any suggestions?

definitely can't make that as it's my sister's wedding.
Weekends I *am* available:-
19/20 August
23/24 September
14/15 October
every weekend after 28/29 October
Of course, a Friday night in the pub (in London) shouldn't be too difficult anytime. Not available on 11th of August or 8th or 15th of September. Any other date is fine.
This is starting to become like herding cats...

I'm guessing this idea has died a death then. Us southerners truly are miserable bastards.

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.

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.
