Karelia
Spent 2,5 weeks there this summer.
Safety: no problem, usual precautions
Roads: from very good to very bad
Accomodation: wild camping can be done everywhere
Mosquitos: end of August not too bad, but bring some repellent and wear socks in the evening .... :-)
Landscape: endless roads with endless birchtrees

Kola enduro adventure
Hello!
I was in Kola peninsula two times, and will bee in next year too. There are very nice and different offload riding possibilities. You can ride by old war roads in tundra, you can ride in mountains tracks, you can pass many rivers (fords), you can be in sand desert, and ride by beach. Excellent enduro possibilities.
There you can see some photos from last year trip trought the Kola named "Nord Quest 2008" Adventurer - Photos
"Nord Quest 2009" will bee. Wee will have two enduro riding weeks, with different adventures. Some information you can see there Adventurer - Description of the tour
Have a good grip!

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.
