Hello from the Cotswolds UK - Horizons Unlimited

**SamL** · #1 1 Mar 2011

A warm hello to all the adventure travellers out there.

Just taking the opportunity to introduce myself, a biker & adventure traveller of some 30 odd years. I have been riding throughout the UK & Europe since buying a Triumph Tiger Cub, way back in 79. It didn't take long to graduate to something bigger & my adventures began to take on a whole new perspective.

In recent years I have ridden in North Africa, Turkey, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia & throughout India. Returning to the Himalayas' later this year!

In the UK I ride a Triumph Speed Triple, although as I'm awaiting an op it's sat under a tarp at the moment.

Would be great to find some adventure loving souls to communicate with whilst I'm laid up, to share stories, encouragement & retain some sanity.

Look forward to hearing from you all.

Hi Sam, Welcome to the site.

I am not a million miles away from you - I live in Alcester but am just 31 days away from the start of my RTW trip so I will be away for at least 6 months. You can follow our progress (me and my mate Mark) at my blog strimstrum.blogspot.com

I took a look at your site and thought I recognised one of the pics as being at the top of Nemrut Dagi in Turkey - was there last August.

Hi there and welcome to the HUBB, hopefully the Triple will spur you on to a speedy recovery!

Feeling better already, just knowing there are a few other adventure travellers out there.

Well spotted Martin, that certainly is Nemrut. Ended up there by accident about three years ago after making a hasty retreat from Georgia when Russia invaded....

Good luck with your RTW trip, I will keep an eye on your blog. Perhaps we should hook up on your return & share some travellers tales.
