Weekend trip leaving tomorrow-where should I go?!

OK,

I am totally open for suggestions here. The only conditions are that I am leaving from London at 8am tomorrow, and have to be back by Monday 8am.

Where should I go?


Up for anywhere in the UK, even France!

What about Nurburgring?

Nice drive out there if you use the back roads rather than the Autobahns, the atmosphere is nice, you can stay in Adenau which is a nice little town.

If you buy a ticket for the 'ring you'll be able to get taken out in some nice cars if you offer to pay for the drivers lap.

Much as I loved Hardnott and Wrynose Passes (from 4 wheeled competitions) it is a long way away. Northern France is much nearer.

Glad you enjoyed it.

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.
