Highland Mini Meet 3

Hi Folks

Angus and I have just got our heads together to set a date for Highland Mini Meet, and have decided on weekend beginning Friday 18th May 2012.

As per the last two years All are welcome - very informal just a few tents pitched at Cannich Campsite and probably a ride out on the Saturday. We haven't fine tuned the details yet but will work this out as we go along.

Given a bit more notice this year - so people can get time off work and save up their money !

Look forward to seeing some old faces and meeting new friends

Bruce and Angus

Oh Bugger

Chizz, Angus, sadly I cant make it to this one as my other half has booked for the pair of us to go to Memphis during the meet. I hope you all have a great time. Last year was one of the best meets I have ever been to and the ride out was nothing short of spectacular.

To any one thinking of going watch out for the Cannich bull run and get the boys to take you up to Applecross, it is breathtaking.

I look forward to seeing the photos on here.

Regards as ever

GM

Hi all,Campsite confirmed we should have our own corner as usual.There is a cafe on the site which does good breakfast etc.I spoke to Ronnie the landlord of local pub who has said he will do the usual quality food at a very reasonable rate,there will also be a selection of local ales and of course fine malts (Rorry comes to mind here !).As for the run out we can do poss,a short local one for the less adventurous and by popular demand the Applecross hillclimb!:,but there are many options as we are in Gods own biking country here.
Look forward to see ya all,

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.
