Hi Andrew,
We are currently in Southern Spain waiting to cross into Ceuta and then the route that you have indicated. We will be commencing the African part of our 4 year RTW trip in the next few weeks and you can see our exact route with GPS info, details on roads, borders and all the expected and unexpected difficulties we will experience by visiting our website: http://www.2ridetheworld.com
Or if you prefer you can contact us via e-mail at simonthomas@2ridetheworld.com

Hope your planning goes smoothly.

Andrew -
We are planning to do the same route in two LR 110s setting off from the UK on the first of January 2004. We'll be posting updates to our website when we can at www.africaoverland.org. Good luck!

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.
