Anyone going from Aswan to Wadi Halfa end of Nov early Dec, I just met a German couple with Huuuuge 4WD camper van who will be taking a ferry, the more the merrýer or in this case cheaper. I won't post their email but they can be contacted through my email on this post. Regards Chris

hello

i (and probably one other) will be keen to join any travellers doing the aswan-wadi haifa ferry, but probably only in about 2 - 3 weeks from now (today being october 1st). if there is a truck going to khartoum thereafter, so much the better! if anyone is interested or has more information, please contact me at my email address.

thanks
cabron

Good news. The company which now runs the cargo ferry to Wadi Halfa and return have started towing the barge behind the passenger ferry. First one today (07/10/02). As such, the trip will take just over one day. Cost is approx 120EP for rider/passenger and 150EP for the bike. Seems the old 'charter the whole boat' has gone. Best to check with the booking guys. Can't remember who they are off hand, but most Lonely Planet type books and overland books will have it listed.

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.
