I'm not quite sure what you're looking for?! But, yes, I'm planning a Holland- Cape Town trip right now. Leaving in september.
'Exchange notes' ? Sorry, must be my poor English.......

London to South Africa sept/oct 07!!!! sounds good. but i'm not big on planning so will have to take it as it comes. the plan at the moment is melbourne (australia) to london leaving melbourne jan 07 arriving in time for IOM TT week. via south east asia and india. if i make it to london in one piece, then down through africa west side then back up the east. i was in east africa last year nov/dec, weather was awesome. yeah it did rain and it was hot, but i got used to it, good balance. can't wait to get back there!

Smile Dakar to Tombocktou Oct 07
Fellow riders of the world,

We will be shipping the Bikes, 3x Bmw's,to Dakar and counting to leave town
Eastbound,around Oct the 15th.
Crossing Senegal, Mali,all the way to Tmbkt,and return probably trough
Burkina and Guine-Conacry to end up back in Dakar.
We'll be riding mostly the off-beaten track, for that one of us as flown
choppers for the UN there in the past,and knows quite well the territory,
and we'll be visiting old friend's of his,mostly staying over in small villages and
tribes.
Would be very happy to meet anyone along the way for a couple of cold ones!
( heard there's no shortage in the area!),cause been riding in Marocco for more than once and never got to see a fellow biker ever!!!!

Happy to help ,

In the wind soon,

MadDogo.

Smile Departing Nov 2007
Hi,


I'll be leaving in my Landie 110 with a friend on the start of an 18 month journey around the circumference of Africa (well as far as is possible) commencing in Morocco and working in an anti-cw direction back up towards Tunisia a year and a half later!

Website will be up an running soon, and I do hope to meet up with lots of others travellers en route, so lets all keep in touch over the next year!

Ben - can't wait to leave the UK!!

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.
