Back home again

Evening folks. I've not been with you for the last 3 weeks as Mike and I have been doing a little bit of travelling in our own back yard so to speak. After a couple of years work at home our trailer named the Square Stream was been on it's maiden journey which has been completed successfully. The journey started from the Overland Show at Stratford ( yes Iain that was the start )then south via Gloucester to the Exmoor Centre in (you've guessed) Exmoor where we enjoyed driving some of the local 'lanes' and tipped the Land rover on it's side then back north to Gloucester and finally to Donington Park Farm. We stayed there for 2 nights all on our lonesome - what a difference to 6 months ago - it was so quiet you could hear the birds singing and the owls hooting and even Ryanair and his colleagues passing over!!!!! Roll on next June is all I can say.

Sorry this isn't as exciting as 6 months in southern Africa but it was still travelling

Sorry I haven't posted any pics but don't know how to on here.

Couple of little dents but nothing to shout about. It was a very slow roll over to about 60* onto the drivers side !!!!! Wheels wanted to go too high up the left side bank.

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.
