The new date works a treat for me, I'll be attending the HUBB then heading over to the west, following an off road route through the Pyrenees and then heading to HUMM. A dammed fine way to spend a fortnight in my book.
If anyone fancies forming a HUMM team or joining the Pyrenees run (should take 6 days) immediately after the France meet please drop me a PM.

Hi everyone
Unfortunately I won't be there too this year, having planed a smaller trip this year, starting with HU meeting in Switzerland last weekend of August and finishing the weekend after in Loupiac. But the gap is too large between those two now. I'll be back in 2018 hopefully. Have a nice time.
Sheers.
Roger.
Ride safe and cool.

« HORIZONS UNLIMITED » (english below .)
Le rassemblement français des aventuriers(ières) moto, vélo, 4x4
fête ses 5 ans du 22 au 24 septembre prochain à Loupiac (Lot).
Du 22 au 24 septembre, Horizon Unlimited donne rendez-vous à tous les amoureux d’aventures
pour un week-end de rencontres, d’échanges, d’ateliers et de balades en toute convivialité,
à Loupiac dans le Lot.
Vous avez un rêve de voyage mais vous hésitez encore ?
Venez-vous inspirer auprès de celles et ceux qui ont réalisé leurs rêves et reviennent de leurs périples en écoutant leurs récits d’aventures, en découvrant leurs films de voyages et tout simplement en discutant avec eux.
Vous avez un projet concret de road trip et encore quelques détails à régler ?
Venez-vous informer en participant à des ateliers pratiques autour du logiciel BASECAMP et des ateliers de mises en condition (réparation de pneumatiques, préparation mécanique) pour vous parer à toutes les situations imprévues…
Un espace librairie avec cartes, guides de voyage, road book ainsi que la présentation des derniers équipements techniques existants vous seront également proposés.
Vous voulez partir et rouler de suite ?
Une superbe balade d’une demie journée sera également au programme et des road book seront fournis sur place pour celles et ceux qui veulent explorer la région en toute liberté.
Loin d’un énième salon de tours opérateurs, Horizon Unlimited se veut avant tout la rencontre entre aventuriers aguerris, apprentis baroudeurs, globe-trotters dans l’âme… tous réunis et animés par la même envie, celle de réaliser son rêve d’aventure sur les routes les moins fréquentées du monde et de le partager.
Plus d’infos à venir !
"HORIZONS UNLIMITED"
The French meeting for motorcyclists, cyclists or 4x4 travelers is celebrating its 5th anniversary from September 22nd to 24th in Loupiac (Lot).
From September 22nd to 24th, Horizons Unlimited invites all adventure lovers for a weekend of meetings, exchange, workshops and ride-outs, in Loupiac, in the Lot Department, all in a convivial atmosphere.
Do you dream about traveling, but still have hesitations?
Come and inspire yourself alongside those who have realized their dreams and have returned from their journeys, by listening to the stories of their adventures, by discovering their travel movies and by simply talking to them.
Do you have a specific road trip project and still have some details that you need to work on?
Come and gather information by participating in practical workshops covering the BASECAMP software and in workshops covering all aspects of preparations (tire repair, mechanics), which will allow you to be able to deal with any and all unforeseen situations.
A library area with maps, travel guides, road books, as well as the presentation and display of the latest technical gear, will also be available.
Do you want to leave and ride off right away?
A great half-day ride-out is also scheduled and road books will be available on site for those who wish to explore the region on their own.
Far from being just another exhibit by tour operators, Horizons Unlimited seeks to be, above all, a meeting between seasoned adventurers, novice travelers, and globe-trotters in the soul... All gathered together and driven by the same desire, that to realize their dreams of adventures on the less traveled roads of the world and to share them.
More information coming soon!

Camping cost
98 Euro's for 2 nights camping even with the food seems a little extreme !.
No option just for camping and sorting food yourself !

Really? Remember that's 6 good meals, and free coffee all day long - how can you go wrong at that? Start adding it up, and it's a bargain!
Note that is the campsites rate, not ours - and we make nothing on it. Last year everyone raved about the good food and value, so you'll have to go and check it out!
You CAN cook for yourself if you want, and you can stay elsewhere too.

The food last year was utterly fantastic, all things considered I think it's a very reasonable price.

I know I can cook my self but still 98 Euro , as for staying at a different campsite .. surely that somewhat defeats the object.1 x pain au chocolat and 1 x croissant per person, with unlimited coffee/tea and orange juice ..Not really what I would call (a good Meal) Not trying to pick an argument .. just my opinion

Bonne Chance! Good luck to Thierry and the team for next weekend, looks like you have some excellent interesting presenters and workshops. Hope the weather holds for you, forecast looks o.k. ( but as Roger ( OTRA) will tell you my forecasting is rubbish!). I'm sure you will all have a great time, and I look forward to hearing the stories of the meeting later on. I'm away next weekend on a pre arranged trip to the U.K., so I won't be coming to see you. Have fun!

O.K. so how did it go? It looked like you had good weather!
Update:- I see from the facebook page( HU France) and all the photos that it was a great success, and it's good to know the new campsite owners put on a good show too. Looks like it was worth every centime! Many congratulations to Thierry and your team for working very hard to make yet another success for HU France. Keep it up for next year!! ( For those who don't use Facebook, it would be good to post some of the photos here

Read more about Grant & Susan's story
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.
