Morocco to Ghana - Anyone going that way in October ?
We leave the UK for Ghana (in our Land Rover) on 7th October and plan to be in Morocco around the 15th, spend about 10 days in the country and then head off for Ghana via the Atlantic Route.
Just wondering if anyone else was planning similar and fancied meeting up along the way

Planning on doing atlantic route to SA from Denmark but starting 1'st of November at the earliest. Have no idea how fast I will be going, but I might catch up with you guys at some point if you plan on extended stays now and again. By the way, going on bike.

As we are leaving 18 days before you, but are ambling down I wouldn't be surprised if you pass us along the way.
Do keep in touch and I will have a on chill for you. We haven't got a fridge, but I am going to try and rig up an evaporative cooling system for the bevvies!!!
Just look out for a red Land Rover 110 hardtop.

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.
