Shit.... Fan

... And then the shit once again hits the fan in Egypt and the western desert.

Haven't quite figured out where in the FARAFRA region, or more west, the latest crap has happened.....

But I'll be posting more pics from a fantastic 10 years in Egypt soon

Hope that western desert trips become more feasible, safe and economical sooner rather than later.

More Egypt Pics

I've recently arrived home after 13 months driving, walking and riding a very indirect route from Egypt. These are all pictures from the slideshow of Egypt times that were fantastically put together for our leaving party last year.


Undoubtedly Egypt is a bit messed up, but oh what a fantastic country full of amazing places and people.

Got to get one of the valiant Toyota.

Hard to know which is more fun, the KTM, Jeep or Toyota?


Don't be ridiculous, it's the KTM of course.

Last bit of reminiscing and self indulgence for the evening.
Hope you like the accidental parking, 3 synchronised hand stands over the bars was the result.

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.
