Nigeria/Cameroon now/next few weeks?
Hiya guys,
I already met a few of you in the same area/time and would just like to give you an update of where I am, if you feel like joining up for a while?
Currently in Jos for 2 days - leaving on 1st Feb.
Then travel down to Calabar in 4 days, expect to get there on the 4th or 5th to apply for Cameroon visa. Then in to Cameroon....

Bobo
Hi Martin
And any others. Am on a 2002 Dakar, solo, holed up in Bobo 10 days catching up. Great spot. Probably heading down to Benin in a few days, cross to Nigeria at Nikki and across to Calabar for Cam visa. Anyone about?

In Yaounde getting visas
There is probably no-one in the vicinity, but I will be in Yaounde for the next couple of days, getting visas. Staying at the Presby mission - N03°52.780 E011°31.353.

Nikki to Abuja
Hi Ian, Jacqueline
Bummer, presume both of you down with one of each. How unlucky - whos taking care of who! Am in Abuja, getting Angolan visa Wed, got Congo one here in fifteen mins! Then down to Calabar and Cameroon... Martin might catch you up at some stage.
Came across Benin border at Nikki. Brilliant fun on 'road' to Kaiama - more like 55 miles of dry(ish) river bed. Wouldnt recommend in 4 wheels, or bicycle. First and 2nd gear whole way. Anyone wanting info on biking it, email me downtheroad at eircom dot net.
Hugh

Calabar
Well Martin seems you're still a bit ahead of me. Am in Calabar, waiting on Cam visa probably Monday. Then Cameroon bound. Nice folks at Drill Ranch speak well of you and your efforts.

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.
