Thanks to Bruce/Angus and everyone else for organising the meet. Shame about the weather on the ride out which typically cleared up on Sunday giving me a very nice ride down to Ardnamurchan where I camped at Kilchoan with a great view of Mull. I then rode down to Fionnphort at the bottom of Mull, again in great weather. Unfortunately it decided to piss it down on mon night and since I discovered I was missing a tent peg, I awoke to a rather soggy tent for the first time ever!

Hi MikeS. I'm in Tobermoray now after doing the ardnamurchan to Kilchoan and getting the ferry across. Wild little one laner heh? I was lucky to follow the local bus for some of it. The driver is a maniac but I didn't have to worry about the oncoming cars. The weather was warm and mostly sunny. Fabulous.

A few photos from the weekend and my subsequent ride to Mull, never sure about Facetwitter settings but think it should be accessible. I'm sure I'll hear if the link doesn't work though...

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.
