Newbie from Weymouth with a 4x4 (boooo hisssss)
Hi, Me and the misses were in the middle of driving (by 4x4) around the world (we got to Mongolia) when we received news that both my parents had been diagnosed with Cancer. We turned around and headed straight back to the UK. I know this is predominately a bike forum but stacks of the information is also true for a 4x4. I'm not completely alien to bikes having ridden several large (ish) road bikes and torn about the odd field on two stroke scramblers. Anyway...next week we are off to Morocco in the 4x4 hence joining this forum, it seems to be a wealth of knowledge on the subject.
Hopefully we can add and be part of the forum as well as taking information from it.
If you'd like to check out our website and get some more information about us.
Check the link.
Thanks

Yep.

Hi mate
Dan here!
Met you both in UB and then camped with you at the white lake.
I did hear from F that he met you on the may back through Russia and I've been meaning to email you with the photos of the trip but not finished sorting them!
Enjoy Morocco, i went a few years back and it was an experience!
I am hoping to go to the Cornwall mini meet in April so maybe so you there if you can make it. It's. Nearer you than to me!
Dan

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.
Read more about Grant & Susan's story
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.
