Cape town to Turkey 07/09
Hi all,
I'm currently in Ghana after losing my two travelling companions for various family reasons and will hopefully be reaching South Africa by late June early july.
Rather than flying back to england from cape town I'll be continuing up the east coast of africa and back through europe all going well. If anyone is around or is planning a similar trip around this time and would like to meet up please let me know.
Cheers,
Mike D

Cape to Cairo
I plan to leave Cape Town about 15 September to ride the east coast route. Will you still be around by then? If not, lets meet in South Africa to compare notes: I have just completed Alaska to Ushuaia 2007 -09.

In South Africa
Hi Omar, when you get here, give me a shout. I am in Johannesburg until August, then Cape Town until 12 September when two of us ride north along the east coast to Cairo. If it suits your timing, perhaps we can ride some ways together?

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.
