Glasgow to Bulgaria 09

Hey there peeps, just thought i'de put the feelers out to see if anyone wanted to join myself and my brother-in-law on a trip to Sunny Beach in Bulgaria in mid June 2009. We plan on travelling through Germany into the Czeck Republic into Slovakia down into Hungary through Romania and finally into Bulgaria. We plan to do the entire trip in 18 days, camping most/some of the time with a few B&B's in between. This is our 1st trip abroad but not our 1st road trip. Plan to enter Europe via the Eurtunnel. Donnie

Glasgow to Bulgaria

Hi Donnie
I had planned to take a similar route to Romania last June, thought there might be two of us going but it turned out I was on my own. Hey Ho. June came n went so........ Sounds like a good idea to me.
I work offshore so am limited to when I could go.

I'll probably be in the same general area (Romania and Bulgaria) around that same time.

My plan is to first do the enduromania (I'll try to hitch a ride with a trailer/bus for me and the bike to get there), then cruise down to Bulgaria, hang out at the beach and maybe have my girlfriend meet me there.

After I'll probably go to Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia and then back home (Germany).

So far it's just a vague plan, only thing fairly certain is the Enduromania...

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.
