UK to Ghana September 2009
Hello all,
In late September I will be riding my R1100GS from the UK (South Coast) to Ghana in West Africa. I will be visiting a charity based in NE Ghana that I am involved with. I will be taking the following route: France/Spain, Morocco, W.Sahara, Mauretania, Mali, Burkino Faso, the usual route, no off-roading (unless I have to). I plan to take about 4-5 weeks. I will spend about 1 month in Ghana, then ride home (just like going to Tescos).
It will be a mixture of camping and cheaper hotels, and I will be doing a bit of site-seeing on the way down. You are welcome to hook up with me if you want.
Please drop me a line if you are interested.
Ben.

UK to Ghana Sept 09
Archie,
It would be great to hook up, especially for Morocco & Mauri. Can you drop me a private e:mail? I am unable to send you an e:mail because it says I need a minimum of 8 posts.
Cheers.
Ben.

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.
