I agree, I didn't sleep there, but we stop for eating there, it's true the guys are very friendly and the tajine kefta is good and the water is fresh.

I guess this is aimed principally at Tim, since he knows the route, but any advice welcome. Like I said before, the route Time suggested will basically be the one we follow. Is this mostly tarmac. Currently got Conti's on my V-strom, but think I'll need new ones before we go. I normally use Bridgstone BT020's (021's now I believe). Can I assume these will do the job nicely. No intention of doing any off-roading unless I need to, since Ive never tried it before, and we'll be 2-up.

Colin.

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.
