You've not said when you are thinking of going? I off in the spring to this place for a month.

Dubrovnik, Croatia - Google Maps


So would be looking at the back end of summer. I'm OK about the road's. The toll road's can eat in to the money. What I do is make the crossing at Dover early morning. Staying at a camp site in dover. £10 a night. It's has room's you can use for that price. So one good night with a roof over your head. Let's you get a good start. The next thing is an eye ball, so we can talk about it a bit better. Usually pick a main tesco half way between you and me. Can get a bit to eat at the same time. Week end are usually good. Let me know what you think.

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.
