28th June for 2 weeks.
Hello All,
I've had a 2 week return ferry ticket booked for 28th Feb from Dover-Calais, and I'm gonna be on it, with no real plan.
If anyone is interested in a trip, and has any interesting suggestions, then I'm all ears. I intend to camp most if not all of it. Primarily to see how much money it actually saves, and get an idea of what a much bigger trip may cost, plus for the practise. I'm not into motorways unless absolutely necessary ( ie northern France ) nor doing loads of Iron butt days....I want to enjoy it, not get sick of riding.
No real plan tbh, would be open to suggestions. Done plenty of euro riding in the past, mostly France and Germany, little foray into Italy. Would be wanting to find as much sunshine as poss, but keep it interesting at the same time.
I'm based in Romford, Essex, and will be on an Africa Twin. South East looks the most interesting, I like mountains !!

Cheers, Lee.

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.
