18-20 July, 3 great days of adventure travel! One week later, even more chance of warm weather!

We're back in Enniskillen, what a fantastic venue and the friendliest people you will ever meet! :D

Typical comment from 2013: "The food was delicious (without a doubt the best I ever had at a rally or meet up), the entertainment fabulous and the presentations mind-blowing!"

It's that time of the year again, time to make plans for a return to Enniskillen.

I might even have to go on a ride somewhere first then tell you all about it. :thumbup1:

Only a year late.
 

Yep - I'll be trundling along........

Never late Bernard. Looking forward to sharing a pint with you in Enniskillenbeer

Very excited to be there this year and share some of my tales of African adventures! Can't wait :-D

Hey,

what is the story with campervans/overland trucks ?

Just asking, because the event specificly is called "Unlimited Motorcycle Travellers Meeting".

/M

No problems with campervans or overland trucks. Just let us know your mode of transport when registering and we will make sure that you will be located within staggering distance of the presentation hall beer

Hi we are thinking of coming over the Ireland meet this year after the Uk meet, and we have a campervan, used to have a 4x4 but was written of at Xmas, still have 2 Discovery1's.:smile2:

You will be more than welcome bier

Written off a 4x4........sounds like a fun off road happening!!

BTW Currently in a 1995 Disco 1 in Bolivia.......Will share stories over beer if you make it over to Enniskillen (and if not why not!!)

Big congratulations to Bernard Smith and Cathy Birchall for their excellent book "Touching the World: A blind woman, two wheels and 25000 miles" achieving the top 10 on Amazon's list of favourite books on Latin American Travel :clap:


Oh, did we mention that Bernard is one of the presenters at Enniskillen this year bier

And, whilst we are name dropping , a very "fingers crossed" congratulations to David Kyle, our "Globebusting" AV man who makes sure that all the techy stuff works at each Ireland meeting. Amongst his many talents. David is a great photographer and one of his travel photographs is well in the running for inclusion in the Horizons Unlimited 2015 calendar. Judge for yourself the quality of the shortlisted entries for this accolade here http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...-winners-75142 and remember that there were over 600 entries in total! Can you pick out David's photograph? Buy the man a pint in Enniskillen

Great to learn that Geoff Hill, well known adventure travel author will be giving a presentation at Enniskillen this year. Geoff is an award winning newspaper travel writer and author of many books including “Way to go: two of the World’s great motorcycle journeys”, “The Road to Gobblers Knob: from Chile to Alaska on a motorbike” and “Oz: around Australia on a motorbike.”

Just last year he completed a re-creation of the first round the world motorcycle ride so his talk at Enniskillen will be well worth hearing. :cool4:

To anyone debating about turning up with 4 wheels, go for it. I was there with a Landrover in 2011, got hooked on the stories of motorcycle travel and left home and have not been back yet. Addictive stuff!

Merv. (Still in Brazil)

Sadly I won't be able to make it. Was looking forward to it but herself is going away and leaving me with the animals. No not the children :)

Our plans are getting a bit firmer, Hope to make it along. bier

I'm gutted I can't make it over this year. :( I had an absolute ball with everyone last year. I came away feeling that I'd been surrounded by friends. There were so many bonuses for being at the Meet.

Here goes just some of them: The great atmosphere, the venue, the camping area, the enthusiasm and helpfulness of the organisers and volunteers, the excellent presentations, the beautiful area and, well, I could go on. I hope you have a fantastic time! :thumbup1:

Sorry you will not be able to make it over to Enniskillen this year, Sam. You deserved (needed) a break after the fantastic effort at HUBB UK this year.

Perhaps a few others may be tempted to consider attending our distinctively Irish take on a Horizons Unlimited meeting:mchappy:beer in Enniskillen on 18/20 July.

We have a few late additions to the galaxy of presenters this year.

Paddy Tyson will be giving us all the lowdown on his recent trip to Nepal and Tibet.

Merv Colton is returning from his two + years slow trip round South America in a Unimog. Merv's ability to capture fantastic photographs on his travels is legendary.

And others in the wings!!

Registrations are still open at this stage and you can be assured of your place by registering

Cheers! Full on from everyone involved :thumbup1:

Your line up of presenters is spot on.

And I do wonder what sort of Irish surprise you have lined up for everyone this year beer Besides pints of the real stuff that is!

Hi Susan - and all!!! So looking forward to coming back to Ireland for the Hubb event. Decided to throw a few days either side for a little mini adventure holiday too! I'm speaking this year so pretty excited about that! Will be talking about crocodile wrestling and Elephant off ground tic, Near drowning in the Zambezi and armed militia in Mozambique - oh and the peace and tranquility of the continent that is glorious Africa...

Susan
When is Bill's presentation? I can't seem to find a specific programme
Thanks Brian

Hi Brian.

Bill Ward is presently scheduled to give his presentation at 2.30 pm on Saturday.

Promises to be an interesting talk :clap:

Any dates for 2015 yet? :scooter:

Hi Bonnybird. We are looking at the last weekend in June 2015 for the Ireland event. When we are sure that all the dots are joined up we will confirm the date and open the registraton page on the site :clap:

With potentially no HUBB UK in 2015, this could be even busier!

Darn missed the last one and will be away for this one, unless I rush back (no chance)
