Off tomorrow...

Right then, off tomorrow for 4 months (hopefully, commentators curse etc).Plan is to get down to Greece anti-clockwise then up through the Balkans and the old Eastern Bloc - all very flexible, though! So forgive my Euro-type queries over the coming months, cheers

We leave Australia tomorrow too. See you somewhere on the road; maybe Romania, Ukraine or Russia in the next 3 months.
Cheers
Mick and Colleen

I'm off too...

Depart home in the early hours of Monday from NW England - down to Dover and Speedferry to Boulogne and on to Brussels that evening. Collect my Tajikistan visa and GBOA permit the following day at the embassy and then meet Mick from Oz and Jens from SW Germany over the next couple of days. It's then off to The Stans and back through Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. We leave Mick In Kaz, Jens in Uzbek and the rest of the way on my own.
This site has been invaluable in planning this trip of a lifetime.
I hope to come back wiser!!
Cheers
Paul

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.
