UK-Spain Sept HU meet.

Hi Folks,

Is anyone heading down to the HU meet in Malaga (9-12th) in September?

I'm taking the Tenere down from Edinburgh and contemplating the Santander ferry or the Chunnel. I've not decided on a route yet and was wondering if anyone else would like to buddy up for the trip? I'll be taking the tent but can do B&B's if the weather sucks and was thinking of taking 3-4 days to get down there.
If there's a group going down and you'd like a medic on board then let me know.
After the meet I'm heading to Portugal then a bit of a European tour, (OktoberFest, Zurich, Berlin, Hannover, Brussels) for the rest of September.

Wheelie

Hey mate,

I'm doing a tour but in September, incorporating pulling a wheelie (photographed) at a famous Landmark in each capital city! I decided to add on a bit...........

Starting in Edinburgh, riding to HU meet in Malaga via Paris and Madrid, back up through Lisbon across to Italy (boat) and back through Switz, ger, belg and holland. Starting 3rd (ish) and should be finished 24th (ish) September. Should be a heck of a ride..! I had to bring everything forward as I have to be in South Africa for a course by the first week of October.

Fancy Joining?

Hi mate,
The Santander ferry for the 5th/6th Sept was booked and the only next available is the 12th Sept. So the Dover-Calais it is!

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.
