Hiya

Prior arrangement for the Friday but will be down on the Saturday. We can bring dry clothes and new tents for anyone caught out by the bad weather that is sure to accompany the weekend!!

Looking forward to it.

Hi Folks I have a prior arrangement for the Saturday evening but I would be up for arrivng on the Friday afternoon and going back on the Saturday afternoon.

As I recall there are two camp sites in dent, a bigun and a littleun. I assume you mean the little site on a hill? (that is where I buried my back wheel up to axle trying to get up the hill before the last wild camp, mercifully I was rescued by Ted Magnum and Steve but I had a red face)

Yep - camping
Yep - pub
Yep - full english (all days)
Yep - Greenlaning.

Do we have to book the campsite?

Debz (and Iain) - We met at the HUMM. I tried to get in touch with you through this forum, but I couldn't think of things to say for 8 posts! It will be good to meet up with you again- (probably in damper weather!)

Ps. Our certificates arrived last week - framed and hung over the fireplace now!

I have no prior engagements (no mates?), so will be there.
cheers
Chris in sunny South Africa.

PS. Don't let any of those 4x4 types tell you a car is better than a bike for adventure travel. Having just driven a Landcruiser for 9000km I can unequivocally confirm how much more fun a bike is.

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.
