there are plenty of campsites in The Netherlands.... (anywhere fro m7 - 25 euro's a night for two people in tent) and I guess you can find places to stay via the Communities!

Which route will you take? Maybe I can advice a bit more in detail...

Thumbs up Netherlands camping

Thanks for reply, I will travel from Dunkirk to either Arnhem or Amsterdam. My route is flexible, but will be heading to Scandinavia eventually. I am one man one bike and one tent. That may make it cheaper for me. If you suggest a different destination within Holland I can change my route. Cheers .

Hi Chef,

If you want some travel advice or route ideas for Norway let me know I can help give you some great ideas.

Also should you hug the coast up to Northern Norway you can come by and have a rest in my cabana. I live in Rogaland in Norway (South West Coast).

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.
