Mozambique in November

Anyone riding up or down Mozambique in November? If so let's have some .
I haven't seen another bike since Nairobi and I'm tired of pretending to sympathize with tourists who are going back to work the next day...

Mate,

Haven't you made it any further south yet? Did you get stuck in Malawi indulging in a little too much of the Malawi gold?

cheers

Hi,

Simon,

There is nothing wrong with taking the slow road - after all, I seem to have become rather stuck in Egypt for the last three months!

Look forward to catching up for a when you get back to the UK. I rather suspect you might actually beat me there....

cheers

If all goes well I should be leaving Khartoum by the light of the moon or at least tomorrow 2 Nov and drinking my way south via Ethiopia and Kenya and never ever going to a dry country ever again. Mike, on a slowly rattling apart 1200GS

I recommend you get through the north of Kenya as quick as poss - no lager available at any time (at least on the Moyale-Wajir road). Give us a shout when you get to the booze-flooded southern bits...

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.
