Hi Guys,
I thoroughly enjoyed the meet in the spring.
I shall be in India for most of Sept, so would prefer early October.
Having used the Lion at Blakey Ridge, why not relocate to somewhere else? How about somewhere the other side of the Pennines? Cumbria, for example?

Funny you should mention that, Baldrick..

Brad/Jake and I had the same thought and I just spend the weekend investigating pubs in Northumberland and the Borders - again. It was a terrible task to be confronted with, but someone had to do it....

I think I've found a nice one. Just waiting for the confirmation of the camping field being available.

It seems that most people will be back from their travels (or still in UK!) around beginning of October. Therefore, for booking purposes and other benefits (access to Otterburn range!) I would propose to fix the dates to the 7/8 October. Interested volunteers could obviously start on the Friday night...

Does anybody have any objections to moving the venue to Northumberland/Borders?

Any objections to 7/8 October?


Let's have a good one!!

Jens

October sounds good to me, if not Northumberland, how about either Tan Hill, the highest pub in Britain just of the A66, or i know a couple of pubs in the lakes which are good (haven't used them for a few years though)

Hey chaps,

Having not been to a HU meeting before, I'd like to come along to this one, if that's okay? I live in Penrith, which is pretty close to the areas you're talking about, so let me know if I can do anything by way of research etc to help out.

Cheers,

Andy

For some reason every time i've stayed there i've been oblivious to anything, can't think why?

I've heard Tan Hill has new owners, the old lot were great, very helpfull and a right laugh, didn't mind us turning up covered in mud on dirt bikes

Well done, Squid

Can't believe I didn't update this for so long....

Current status:

Still planning Northumberland on 6/7/8 October.

Unfortunately it cannot be the Rose and Thistle in Alwington as the farmer doesn't want us camping on his land... Strange one, never been a problem before!

I have a couple of alternatives in Northumberland and will confirm final location this weekend, if there are no major objections. I know Tan Hill was mentioned, but it does sound like a noisy old place...

Based on aprils meeting I estimated participation to be between 20 and 30.

Just to check that, Everybody planning to come say 'Ay'!

Chocks away!

Jens

Thanks for the offer, Ian & Debz.

Since there is very little work involved in arranging a place to camp for a bunch of weirdos, I think I'll be fine.

If not I'll get back to you.

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.
