How to meet
Hi Arek and Chris,
First Arek, lets find a place in either Spain or Morocco to meet. I expect that by 7th or 8th January we will be crossing into Morocco. We will then be moving in the direction of the Atlas Mountains. If this more or less fits in with your plans suggest a place and time to meet and have a .
Chris how long do you plan to take going down to South Africa? How can we keep contact while travelling? I am always keen to make contact and to keep in touch.
How about all of us publishing out planned itineraries. I know from experience it is only a rough guide but it helps.
I am busy recovering data from my old computer and will, when I get it, try and give as much info as possible abouth Visas and where to get them.
Happy planning

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.
