A day out in Wales

Trail riding in North Wales the other day





Every time the view is awesome


3 very mature (manure?) gentlemen at the Wayfarer plaque


Nickerless


Chris and Steve


Sunday's lunch stop. McDs anyone?


Stevie D admirably mud plugging on his Tenere

Also 5 short videos:


Nick narrowly avoids a swim in the Corwen Carwash


Gadget Chris enjoying the puddles



Nick carves a nice bow-wave


How NOT to do it (but more entertaining) and me (how to do it), but less amusing for spectators


Me and Dave in the Carwash


DRZ as submarine substitute?

cheers

Hi
The past couple of issues of Adventurebikerider magazine Welcome to Adventure Bike Rider have had articles with interesting "off-pavement" UK routes.

Also the Trail Riders Fellowship Welcome to the TRF should be your first stop. I'm sure they have a group in your area.

cheers
Chris

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.
