Leaving Party, West Cornwall, Easter Saturday

All, after 3 years of over planning we will be finally setting off on the first leg of our RTW trip, heading to Sydney.

To celebrate leaving we are having a party down in Cornwall, which is bound to end up in a big drunken mess, on Easter Saturday. Anyone around who fancies turning up is more than welcome, and there should be a field somewhere for camping.

Plan is to have a civilised hog roast on the day, then move onto a field somewhere away from civilisation and party in a barn or round a fire all night.

PM me if you fancy it, and I'll give you the details.

Cheers

Missed mead riddled party

DARN IT, Sorry Ollie, would've loved to have made your party as a Cornish lad myself to lend some form of support and wave you off, nursing a hangover of course!
But riding around Cambodia that weekend!! (23 day trip in total, not just nipping over there for the Easter break... I'm not that flash!)
Have a great and safe trip, as I'm sure you will!!! and go steady as you will always get there 'dreckly'.....

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
