Spain Portugal 2015.
Leave the UK round the second week in May. Crossing at Dover. Ride down to Spain and Portugal. Have a place book just out side Faro. Looking for someone to share cost. Have to be there on the 15 May. Dover crossing no later than the 12 of May. Cheap hotel's on the way down, I don't do camping. How long? As long as the money last's.

I'm just looking to get there. By the way it's a sport's tour. At my age it take's most of what I have to keep it on the road, not mind off road.

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.
