Europ trip from Central Scotland
Thinking about a trip to France and maybe further this summer, date not decided, no worries though as I have retired (58) Never been on a Euro trip on a bike. I prefer camping with the odd hotel stop.
As I say, I am a virgin to a trip like this so if anyone is going and does not mind me tagging along I would be very grateful.
Cheers
Jake.

Hi Jake, also retired and having most of July in the Alps, taking in the 50th
anniversary of the Stella on the 2nd weekend. ferry from Newcastle early
July a few days camping in the Vosges, down to Chamonix for a few days
over to the Stella then maybe a week in the Dolomites or somewhere and
back for the last week in July. As many Alpine passes as I can cram in,
might be your thing ?

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.
