I'd definately be up for one in south west.

I work at UWE in Bristol (now the largest campus based uni in Europe) not sure if we could put something together at UWE but as long as there's a good number coming I wouldn't charge to open the bar in the evening.

Worthy Farm, Glastonbury?
Well used to a large number of campers. Tolerant locals.
I've been there competing on Special Sections on a car rally, so they are used to motorised competition (vehicle noise).

And miles of unsurfaced and loose tracks for those who insist on impressing everyone else with their off-road riding skills!

I just noticed the Meetings page says "UK Autumn, 15-17 Oct, 2010 (to be confirmed)". Did it say that before, or is this a sign of progress?

Don't know whether they would be up for it but this place certainly has the facilities. Some good trail riding in the area as well.

The New Forest would be a great place for a meet, i'm sure there must be a suitable venue there.
Any ideas on dates etc?

+ 1 on the New Forest, that would be a great choice. Been wanting a reason to ride the New Forest for a while!

Happy Dayz wherever it's going to be held.

After riding on Salisbury Plain last weekend I'd suggest anywhere within striking distance of there. What a fantastic playground for trail riding and green-laning. There are hundreds of miles of criss cross tracks where you can spend all day with hardly seeing a tarmac road or another vehicle. And it's all legal so long as you keep to the by-ways.
You need someone who knows the routes as it's not a good idea to stray off the legal tracks and you have to be prepared to modify any planned routes if the army are out playing that day.

Hi,

I'm also very interested to know what is happening regarding a possible Autumn event.

Are the dates of 15-17 Oct, 2010 set in stone or are they still only penciled in?

Thanks

I think it's probably up to one of us to organize it if we want it to happen. In the same way they often do for the Northern meets. I may volunteer in the future but I'm afraid it won't be this year. However if it is near Salisbury Plain I may know someone who could be asked to organize a rideout.

I might be able to help out with a rideout or two on The Plain.

If I can't, then I know a man who can

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.
