Morocco in October anyone?

Im looking to do my first trip to morocco, taking the ferry from portmouth to santander, possibly 5th til the 20th, though im flexible as still in early stages of planning.

Would be great to have a travel bud, Im looking to pass my test in September after many months riding through london traffic on a 125.

Im used to driving long distances, I drive my vw campervan to austria once a year, and have done many other long distance trips. so im not totally wet behind the ears.

Let me know if you're interested, or perhaps I can join up if you already have a plan in place

cheers

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.
