UK-Istanbul in August
I'm heading to Istanbul in the last couple of days of July/early August... exact details to be confirmed. Last time I did this I went through Italy and Greece. This time I fancy going overland all the way (via Croatia).
Anyone en route?

I'm planning to leave around the same time but going the Italy Greece route. By mid August I'll have done what I'm going to Turkey to do and will be deciding whether to ride around there a bit more or come back the Croatian way or retrace. When are you thinking of returning to London and which way?

My only fixed plans...
... so far are as follows:
Must be in UK on 29th July (leeds) cos I'm working, and on the 26th August coz I've got a family gathering to go to. No crossing booked yet, (though always prefer the chunnel). Could possibly do Italy/Greece there and different journey back... just keen on doing the Overland route as I've not done this before...
In all, I would like to spend say no more than 12 days travelling, and around 15 days in Istanbul
Maybe we should get together to discuss/plan?

too speedy for me!
6 days riding each way is to way too fast for me!! I'm intending to eat drink and be merry and take the slow road.

Would definitely suggest slowing up at some point and going through Bosnia. If you can't do Croatia and Bosnia - do Bosnia and spend a couple of days in Sarajevo. Absolutely fantastic! (I can recommend central B&B if you're interested.)

I'll second that! If you do take this advice, visit Mostar as well, a real gem of a town and the road from Sarajevo to Mostar is also a highlight.

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.
