Spain one or two week's Sep 8 2012

I'm looking at going to Spain in September. Hoping to catch the crossing on the 5 Sep. From Dover, and be in Spain on the 8th. I have my eye on a complex booked just the French side of Barcelona. About a grand all in. Unless you go daft then one and a half grand. Stay over night on the fourth in Dover £10 per night. Up early catch the early morning crossing. Then fly down to Poitiers, Then on to Pau, or Perpignan on the French coast. Making the crossing in to Spain on the Saturday.Those of you that can count will see there is an extra day in there. The idea is. Either leave a day earlier and arrive on time, or spend two night's at one place and ride round and see what's on offer.

Any one interested mail me here.

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.
