Horizons Unlimited Travellers' Meetings

Want to know what people thought of last years Meeting? Is it worth coming to the Meeting?

"I'm so looking forward to another UK meet. My only problem is that I simply can't get to every talk I want, such is the amount of terrific presentations on offer. Each year I've been astonished at how articulate, intelligent, informative and entertaining the speakers are. I'm willing to help with anything that doesn't keep me from a talk - and my timetable will be full to bursting!" More comments here.

Important!

Registration is limited! So to be sure you get in and avoid disappointment, get your registration and payment in early!

We really don't want to turn anyone away, but more importantly we want to be sure of having a great meeting - and overcrowded facilities will be no fun for anyone. Please be patient and bear with us - and them - as we all try very hard to bring the best possible meeting to as many as possible. The admission price is on a sliding scale to encourage early registration and help us organise facilities better.

See you there!

• A year (almost) around the world (sort of)!
  Jupiter's Traveller - Dom Giles
  In 2010 Dom set off from Alaska taking 6 months to make it down to Panama (he probably should have taken a GPS). From there he shipped to South Africa and then hit the road (once literally) heading for Nairobi, finishing in June 2011. This presentation will fill in the gaps and leave you wondering why, if it's all this easy, you're still sat in a field in Derbyshire instead of out on the road somewhere.

• Malaysia to UK on a C90

• From Beijing to Paris on a Yamaha XT250X
  Frédéric Scheffer
  17,000km, 3 months, 10 countries. At the age of 23, Frédéric rode from China to France on a 250cc bike. It was the roadtrip of a lifetime.

  Royal Enfield and Transalp to India in 2009.
• eBay to America
  Simon Chegwyn
  North America on a 1982 Gl500 eBay bargain.
• But I only have two weeks!
  Stephen Clark
  Getting the most out of two weeks without it turning into an "Iron Butt ride"
  The presentation will be based around letting travellers know they can get much more than they think possible from two weeks in parts of Europe that don't require 500+ miles a day. I will explain how meeting the people rather than just passing through their landscape is what makes the journey. I considered calling the presentation "A madman on the road to recovery" as I have fallen victim to the dreaded stress, had to take time off work, change my job etc and was even unable to ride my bike for 6+ months, this will form part of the presentation - as we say "If I can do it, so can you!"

Presenting?

How about you? We're all here to learn, and there's LOTS to learn! We want to do more presentations and seminars - but we need volunteers to give them! Any topic you can contribute having to do with motorcycle travel, maintenance, planning etc, lasting around 30 minutes, would be great. If you'd like to share the fun of the road and the things you've learned along the way, please register as a presenter. As an extra bonus, there's no admission fee for presenters.

2011 Speakers and Tech Seminars were...

Important Presentation Info!

The main conference room will squeeze 250 people. Smaller rooms hold up to 100, so there will be THREE and sometimes FOUR shows happening simultaneously, so you can pick and choose what you watch. We will repeat as many shows as possible so that you don't miss out.

The Marquee (the Souk!) we used for the first time in 2010 will be back, and will be used even more. It easily holds 3-400 people with standing. Many of the shows in the main room will be streamed to the big screen in the marquee, so you have two choices for where to watch.

There will also be Breakout sessions, which anyone can call! We'll have signup sheets for breakouts, just grab a sheet and list what subject you want to talk about and where and when, and people can sign up and meet you there! Sessions can be during dinner, or over breakfast or meet at someone's bike, whatever, it's up to you.

There will be slide shows and talks Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, as well as all Saturday morning and afternoon, and Sunday too, (see the schedule). Come early and make it a great weekend!

SLOW BIKE RACE!

After the roaring success of last year, the 'Slow Bike Race' is back again for 2012 with the fantastic support of Rieju Motorcycles. All overlanders know that you are going to spend a significant amount of time, picking your way at slow speeds through mud, slaloming potholes and slow motion dodging through loony traffic. What better way to show off your skills! It won't be easy, but it'll be fun. The first 27 people to book at the Meet get to take part. Kick off 10am sharp on Saturday morning. There'll be a prize! And a bonus prize for the slowest rider who completes the course within the rules. Um, NO SIDECAR OUTFITS or 4x4's :)

BIKE SHOW!

Back again for another year, the HU Travel Bike Show!
Free to enter, open to all bikes.

Prizes for:

• Most Unsuitable
• Most Stickered
• Best Modification
• Most Travelled

Shine it up - or perhaps get it dirtier... and bring it to the front parking area Saturday afternoon - details at registration.

Live Music - Saturday Night - Round the Bonfire

In what has become a tradition for the Ripley meeting, on the Saturday night you'll find live music round the bonfire. This year we'll be rockin' to Stevie Simpson and his mandolin...

Charity Draw

2012 Charity is Motorcycle Outreach, through the sale of raffle tickets and the generous donation of prizes from all the vendors on site and from afar. If you'd like to donate a prize for the charity raffle, send it direct to Lumb Farm marked to Angela Woods FAO Horizons Unlimited or just bring it along with you to the event itself.

Confirmed prizes so far include a £200 voucher from Brittany Ferries, 12 month subscriptions to RiDE and MCN, a voucher for a pair of tyres from Continental Tyres, signed copies of all four of Sam Manicom's books, plus two motorcycle jackets and a scarf from Turcano Urbano.

Motorcycle Outreach does much the same as Riders for Health, but in Indonesia! :) In 2011 you raised a very vital £1,200.00 for them with your raffle ticket purchases!

As with 2010/11, the draw will be held at 5 pm on Saturday in the marquee. If you're in a presentation at the time, numbers will be matched to prizes for you to collect later. Prizes will be available to pick up from 5 pm Saturday until 10 am Sunday, so no need to be there to win! The raffle for any uncollected prizes will be redrawn at 10 am on the Sunday - so don't throw your tickets away.

Food

Tasty meals with generous portions served all day, every day, from 8.00am and well into the evening. There's a wide and varied menu, including vegetarian options. Lumb Farm haven't increased their food prices since last year, which you'll find are equivalent to, or less than, what you might find in most pubs. Eat in the restaurant, bar, or al fresco!

Camping

The £10 camping fee for the whole 4 days is not included in your registration fee this year. The camping fee is being charged by Lumb Farm and not by Horizons Unlimited.

There are TWO camping areas, one as you come in on your left, and the main area at the end of the driveway behind the buildings. Access to BOTH is behind the buildings. The main camping area fills up fast, so early arrivers please don't take a big area, just squeeze in, and leave a pathway for early departures. The quietest area is probably the secondary area, on your left just as you arrive - but no promises!

NOTE: The lower field has a small area that's prone to seepage from the site's septic tank - which is supposed to be "no problem" but as the weekend goes on it has been errhhm "overwhelmed" so look for the signs and steer clear!

NO 4 wheeled vehicles in the main camping fields at any time without specific permission. It's too crowded and causes too much damage to the grass.

4x4 and Camper Vehicles - Unlike in previous years, the 4 wheeled 'camper' zone will be in a designated area at the top of the bottom field.

Showers - available in the new outside blocks.

Wi-Fi - there is Wi-fi available in the Pub area, but it's a single connection for EVERYONE so don't expect fast!

Barbecues - ONLY at the firepit area, not on the camping fields AT ALL. There are NO cooking facilities except what you bring, but there's tons of excellent pub food at good prices available.

Food and Beer - available in the pub. Please DO NOT bring YOURS into the pub! Angela, the landlady, obviously got upset when people did this in the past.

Dogs - due to a particularly noisy dogs in the past, there will be no dogs allowed to camp in the main camping areas at all. VERY sorry we have to do this, but there were a lot of complaints, and understandably so, about a dog barking all night, so we're forced into this restriction. 4 Wheelers can have their dogs in the parking lot area, and there is an area on the driveway on the right as you arrive, near the very bottom of the hill, where people with dogs and tents camped last year and were happy with it, so we will continue to do that this year. Noisy dogs will be ejected regardless, so please keep your dog quiet.

Children - safety concerns have been raised, especially with folks riding around on motorcycles, not always sober! Some of the presentations are absolutely inappropriate for kids, and yet their parents brought them along anyway! It is not fair to the presenters (or the audience) to expect them to censor themselves so that children can attend talks that are intended for an adult audience, and we could run afoul of child protection legislation. IF you wish to bring your kids along, YOU explicitly accept these stipulations and therefore FULL responsibility for kids under 16 (and 14+ year olds will pay full adult price). NO children admitted to talks after 9pm.

Equipment for Sale

There will be a pin board for you to post equipment, bikes etc for sale.
