Morocco 1st Nov-16Nov

Hi, im off to Morocco for a couple weeks, catching a ferry from Plymouth on the 1st Nov, crossing Spain to Algerciras ferry to Cueta then doing a loop through the Riff over the Atlas Mountains to Marrakech, then up the Atlantic coast and back to UK on the 16th Nov.

If anyone is interested in a couple week spin or meeting up on the way let me know.

Im also heading to the Ace next Sat for Sams book launch leaving Poole Dorset about 8 oclock if your heading that way.

Cheers Jim

Northern Spain in November

Hi Jim, enjoy your trip, northern Spain in November, it can be very cold. I had snow in northern Spain in mid October 2008. I also had a trip in April 2007, it was cold with frost and fog in northern Spain. As I said enjoy your trip, hope you don't mind me giving you this information, I would love to do North Africa. Wife said, I have done well this year with 2 weeks in NZ South Island, hired 800gs, great fun and weather was great. Tourman

Hi Jim

I might well be at the Ace as well. Will be on a bright orange F650GS twin.

I will be in Morocco for much of October on my Tenere, don't know if I will still be there at the beginning of November.

Tim

Morocco trip

High Tim and Jim,

I will also be going to the Ace on Saturday en route to the ferry for a trip over to Morocco. Although I intend to be away for approx 6 weeks, I'm afraid I will be back home by the time your trip starts Tim. But none the less, it might be interesting to compare notes. You can't miss me, I'll be on a black ST1100 with a top box big enough to sleep in.

Regards....Mike

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.
