Riding buddies from UK - Spain for HU meeting !

I'm thinking about attending the HU meeting in Malaga, Spain this year.

Meeting date is Friday 11th September - Sunday 13th September.

I'm going to get the ferrry from Portsmouth to Sandander (Northern Spain).

I'll probably get the ferry 2-3 days before the meeting leaving a lesuirely ride down there, although I've not booked anything yet.

Ferry cost is £157 single.... I might stay out in Spain for the winter so I've not priced up a return ticket.

I'm happy for anyone to tag along. I might be going over with someone else but most likely alone.

That was a ONE-WAY voyage though..

Most people change their thread subscriptions so you get an email whenever somebody posts on it. It's in the user options.

I can get your email if thats easier for you..

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.
