National Geographic Website

A great place I like to use is the National Geographic site. You need to go to 'maps' and then you can select location and the specific feature that interests you.

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/index.html

Another site is 'weatherbase'. www.weatherbase.com
This is a great database of worldwide weather.

Good luck

Talking Whither weather

Where ever you go, the weather will not be 'normal' ... probably why it is called weather?

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.
