Anyone is Ushuaia? (1st Feb)

Hi guys, I'm in Rio Gallegos heading for Ushuaia tomorrow. Just wandering who's about, where they're staying etc.

I'm a Brit on a F650 Dakar and have come down from BA on Ruta 3. Will head back up Ruta 40 but will head for Punta Natales first.

It'll be great to meet for s etc!!!

happy travels!!
Greg

cheers Matt!

Looking forward to that !

I think Bariloche and Ruta 40 is definatley the better route. I came Ruta 3 down the east, extremely flat, bloody windy and not much to see.

I'll be doing Ruta 40 northbound, so I'm sure we´ll meet somewhere. If you see a ridiculously overloaded 650 Dakar, riden like an idiot, good chance it's me!

luego!
Greg

Hi Greg,

Are you coming up the Carreterra Austral? An absolutely fantastic road but fairly dangerous! I am currently in Coyhuiqui in need of major bike work following a big hit from a pick-up truck. Hope to see you this way!

Cheers.

Matt

Holy crapolla - I hope the pick-up was OK?

Sorry to hear about the accident - hope you can get it sorted OK. Doesn't sound like you were hurt which is probably the best outcome!?

I've riden north to Peurto Natales in Chile. I'm going to do about 10 days trekking around the Torres del Paine park and then probably back into Argentina for Ruta 40 north. Sorry I'm not closer to buy you that now!

Is there anything you need that you can't get easily?

Real shame but the pick up is fine by comparison. Good news is that the spares have all been found at a bargain price and will be departing from the UK in the next 2 days. Possibly means that I will see you on the Ruta 40 for our Guildford reunion tasting evening. Happy hiking.

Matt

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.
