Some photos of our trip through Algeria/Niger/Nigeria
Hi everybody,
We just returned from our trip through Algeria to Cameroun and have made an online report. It is in dutch, but I added a link so that it can be 'translated' to English and French. You can find info on our route and a lot more.

We thank everybody here for their help when we were preparing our trip and we hope that we can contribute to succesful adventures of others.
Alida, Saskia and Martin

"bivouacs"
Thanks a lot for this report .
Just a question (I can't understand dutch) : It seems , during your trip between Taleb Larbi and Djanet , it was possible to sleep (bivouac) where you want and not close from a police's post or something like that . Is it true ?
RR.

Hi Roro,
Yes indeed this is true, whenever possible we camped in the desert. At one time we were forced by the police to camp at their station - but this was only because we arrived at a late hour (after five) and it was getting dark already. This happened at the checkpoint after In Amenas. It was really a pity because the dunes around us were all so beautiful and now we had to sleep in the halogene light enduring the sounds of the diesel generator. The guards, however, gave us a delicous meal and soft-drinks.
Bye,
Martin

Martin, what is the proper full website address please? www. ??? ??????
I want to refer others to your site and not have to log on to the Sahara Hubb each time.
Some uesful stuff about security, conditions, roads and border formalities there even though the automatic translation makes it difficult at times!
Good photos and a help to others.

Hi,
The web page is here
We made the trip in winter 2006 (2,5 years ago). Some information might be outdated, but a lot of it isn't. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have.

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.
