Well for any one still following on this page. We have made it to Lume in Togo. Hope to sort some visa's then on the road again.
I will be posting a few tips on the Horizons hub that I've picked up along the way regarding Africa travel + a few good places to stay that wont break the bank balance.
Hope you are all having safe travels and hope to see you around for a few  s 
Cheers, JC

Hi Guys.
I set off from England on a little Honda c90 last September. I'm stranded in Accra at the moment as the Benin embassy here 'lost' my passport  and its looking like it may take about 4 weeks until all that's sorted out - so I will probably be heading off again beginning of may.
I would quite like to do Nigeria with some company so if anyone thinks they'll be going through at around that time let me know.
Also... anyone fancy going through DRC, Kinshasa to Lubumbashi? That's my plan.
All the best,
Liam and c90 around the World

Hey guys,
I've been loitering in Cape Coast for a while. It's too nice here to leave! I'll probably wait around for some parts to get shipped into Accra so I might meet you there Liam! I think you need to tell us the story of just what happened at the Embassy!!
Cheers,
Luke

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.
