Hi all

Ted - Sorry to hear about your injury, I hope your ribs heal well and if you make a remarkable recovery, maybe you can still make it along?

Paul - do you have a plan for Saturday? Any idea of what time off road ride out will be leaving as I suspect there may be a few hazy heads on Saturday morning and it might be an idea to give folk prior warning. Also, to let people arriving on Saturday know so they don't miss it, if they want to come along.

We'll be down early Friday afternoon and look forward to seeing you all. I wonder what time I'll have my first pint of 'two pints'. I can taste it already!

Cheers Deb... Ribs are feeling much better so I will try and make it up. Still pretty painful though and dragging a loaded Africa Twin isnt fun when you're not at full strength.

We shall see................

Is it possible to add a breakfast for the Sat and Sunday mornings for 'Crusty'? Some of you may know of him as the crash test dummy for the Tenere at the last meet at Dent. He has informed me that he will be coming up for both evenings. If it is a problem I'm sure we can manage something. Cheers Steve

Hi Sleepdog

It'll be no problem to add another one in for breakfast.

I've spoken to Cropton and given them a rough idea of numbers but I said that there might be a few more/less.

See you tomorrow.

Hi all

I must admit I am beginning to question my sanity it was -7 here when I left for work this morning - still I am told it will be tropical in Yorkshire.

Laura/Alex - I understand we will be meeting up with you in Edinburgh tomorrow - I am looking forward to meeting you - if we have time are you ok if we will pop in to see Jake - it seems a shame that he set the ball rolling and now wont be able to attend.

Alex - Angus said you want to visit the altberg factory - that was my plan too - although I was going to go Saturday AM.

Wish we were there!

Been following this thread jealously since the start, an inconsiderate friend decided to get his little boy christened on sunday so we were never able to make it.

We had such a great time in Dent in November and would love to be joining you!

Anyway, just thought we'd say have a great time, have a for us, and enjoy the tropical Yorksire weather.

Cheers

Matt and Kim

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.
