driving overland South East Asia to Europe

We are planning to drive a 4x4 plus bus moderfied as mothership from Singapore to Europe starting mid May 2007. Why dont you join our convoy with your own vehicle thus at least reducing the considerable cost of a guide through China?

When are you planning to do this trip because I am planning on doing the same, would be starting from Darwin in AUZ though and get the 4x4 shipped to Kuala Lumpur.

Currently looking at leaving in 2 years from now to have sufficient time for driving courses, planning the travel, fitness, culture etc.

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.
