Feb 2015 Updates

just a couple ... updates to Mongolian borders and adding in Adygalakh and Kuranakh Sala to the Old Summer Road waypoints so the abandoned section of road is more clear.

Vanino Road Fuel

G'day Walter, just came over the Vanino road a few days ago and note that there is now no fuel between Vanino and Lidoga.
Also on Sakhalin there's a fantastic new Hostel, the Pervy Sahaliniski in Yuzhno, they are on at N46' 54.640 E142' 44.864 We paid 850 rubles each for a 3 bed dorm room, bigger dorms are cheaper. Secure parking in a compound.
Should be in Tynda tomorrow and will be studying the waypoints to work out the longest distance between fuel on the BAM heading west.
We are 3 riders, two on DRZ400S with 16L tanks and one on a F650GS with standard tank.

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.
