Food
Folks

Georgie and I are up for communal food - count us in.

Don't bother with booze for us - we'll explain why when we get there.

Cryptic eh?

Simon

Hi guys

Here goes with directions, its approx 12 miles north west of Dumfries:

Arrive at Dunscore village (this is on B729), when you get to village there is one mini roundabout, from the roundabout take the road past the church.

Go for 1.5 miles then turn right (signposted Corsock)

Travel 1 mile along this road (passing over the small crossroads, do not turn off). At 1 mile turn right onto a 'no through road' (no sign, the old school house is immediately after the turning). Continue for a further half mile and Andy & Maya are the second house on the right.

If you get lost, please phone Andy on 01387 820862

GPS ref: N 55 08.818, W 003 49.813

See you all there!

Debz

Hi G

Yes, it's open to everyone, the more the merrier, just bring your tent along and join in the fun. Will you be coming Friday or Saturday and will you be partaking in communal food & booze?

Hopefully see you there.

Hi G

Evening meal on Sat is haggis or meatballs with neeps & tatties followed by cheesecake and this will cost you £3, a cooked brekkie will cost you £2 and pint bottle of lager or will cost £1.60 - all very reasonable. Just sort the money out for food when we all get there and the booze is pay as you use.

See you Saturday hopefully

Debz

Cheers to Maya and Andy for a great couple of days and especially for the "haggis, nipples and titties"!

Smile Great Weekend
Big thanks to Andy & Maya who allowed us all to descend on their beautiful home for the weekend. And thanks to Neil for showing us the delights of the local roads for the Saturday ride out.

Excellent food, excellent and excellent company!

It was good too see you all again and to meet new folk too!

Hope everyone got home safely.

Until the next time......


Iain & Debz

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.
