Is anyone going to the Adventure Overland Show 2016?

I would be interested to hear how it went last year!

According to their FB page post, they will have more Overlanding Talks & Q&A answer sessions, so it looks like its growing..

"LATEST NEWS 1:-
Dedicated to planning your next overland adventure, a brand new free-of-charge attraction entitled The Map Room will feature this year at the No.1 ‘alternative’ travel show in the UK – the “Adventure Overland Show”, Stratford-upon-Avon Racecourse, Warwickshire on the weekend of 24-25 September 2016.

Hosted by Overland Sphere & The Overlanding Association, The Map Room’s unique format (provided by the community) to all day visitors and campers at the show will include:-

· Unique Q&A sessions on the following overlanding topics – Africa, Asia, The Americas, Shipping, Finances, and others.
· Experienced members will provide One-on-One advice about your next trip, walk you through information and resource sites, show you how to load maps and POI’s to your GPS, plus even help you to set up your first blog!
· The attraction will include photos from the community, a display of overlanding books/media, with walls decorated with fantastic maps and images from the OverlandingAssociation.org

Martin McGowan, founder of the Overland Sphere & Overlanding Association remarked, “We are very excited to be part of the Adventure Overland Show. Being able to share overlanding information and experiences is what the community is about, and there’s no better way to do this than in person at this event”

Tom McGuigan, Event Director of AO`16 (Adventure Overland Show 2016), also commented on the uniqueness of the attraction. “Forming part of a ten-year plan, this will be the fifth edition of the show … an event that is increasing both in size and content as the years roll by … but to include such a major attraction as The Map Room at this stage in the event development is an incredible leap forward. I therefore must applaud Martin’s vision for suggesting such an informative and let’s face it - innovative feature. Likewise the same could be said of the community itself, for without their backing the feature just wouldn’t be possible. Overlanding is special, made only by the people themselves. I am looking forward to witnessing for myself what can be achieved by like-minded enthusiasts. The Overland Sphere & Overlanding Association are creating history within the show scene, it will never be the same!”

Profile of the Overlanding Association -
The Overlanding Association is a not-for-profit organisation and community, providing inspiration, help and advice to overland travellers. Comprising two websites (OverlandingAssociation.org, OverlandSphere.com) and a number of Facebook groups and forums (Overland Sphere, Overlanding Europe, Overlanding Australia & NZ, Overland North America & Overlanding Asia).

About the Adventure Overland Show -
An annual gathering of convivial like-minded folk, as mentioned the event is all about the outdoor enthusiast, those with an interest in bushcraft and survival, adventure motorcycle riders, owners of 4x4 campers and expedition trucks, etc. … basically wanderlust-type people who like the appeal of ‘alternative’ travel."

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.
