The travel substitute for those stuck indoors.
Whilst overlanding is often considered by practitioners as being the best way to spend time, the months spent saving and preparing can seem interminalbe.
Not anymore!!
Just click here, travel from your armchair and get scores for the privilege.
(warning: very addictive)

I think speed may count more than (or at least as much as) accuracy - i got a level 6 (world) trying to be accurate, and a level 11 (world) just trying to get the blasted thing (which is way too small!) somewhere close ...

Damn you!
I'm meant to be leaving in two days, I've got a bag to pack. But I just can't stop clicking!
Didn't realise how shaky my South American knowledge was though.

33kms?
I nailed it within 16kms of Warsaw Poland, and 8kms from Asucion, Paraguay. Of course, that was all luck. But it did happen!

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.
