Sloes are the small, bitter fruits of the blackthorn bush and are some of the wild foods I like to pick each year to make sloe gin

Yep.

Hi Bertrand, I found out yesterday afternoon what sloes were. Ah Ha. So it's not Slow Gin then! I had always thought it was made in some special and slow way. I can vouch for there having been stinging nettles there and lots of thick, lush grass. Pity about the lack of grapes though. Lindsay.

I didn't expect the privately hired classic London double decker bus with its 50 passengers and their live band! The pub was packed! I only met two HUBBers but don't know if there were others due to the 20 or so regular bike visitors...this being a local meeting place. This Sunday should be quiter. Linsdsay.
Good to meet you last week, the pub was a bit rammed wasn't it. I'll try and get there again this week but, as I explained last week, I have a prior family commitment that I need to fulfill so will only be there if I can sneak off without being noticed. Otherwise see you next time.

Six Bells

Can't say for sure as I never ate there but, from what others say it has a good reputation, there was certainly enough people there last time I went - perhaps they were 'only here for the '.

I might just give it a try with the family over the next couple of weeks, it's only down the road from me, if I do I'll let you know.

Good food.

Hi, yes the food is very good quality. Not to be called pub food which in UK is usually heated frozen "food". The Six Bells' food is freshly made. Lindsay.

and southernsoftie (welcome aboard).

No reason why you should not set a place and time for a suggested meet. Keep in mind this section is "Yamaha tech", and there is the "communities" and the "bar". As a starter Spring comes but once a year, March 20th!
Might even get to see you all this time around.

If anyone is thinking of meeting at the Six Bells there is a great campsite just a short stagger through the fields, proper camping and they allow camp fires.
Reviews of Merrylands @ Chiddingly , Hailsham, East Sussex Campsite
I have no affiliation with either the pub or campsite, but have drunk the and slept in the field

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.
