Horizons Unlimited Mini Meeting 3rd Original May 10-12 2024
HU U.K.Mini Meet May 10-12 2024

A little later this year… give you time to dry out!

Same site, at the Miners Standard, Winster, just outside Matlock.

Pretty much the same as last year though I do have a few new ideas for this year

I shall be there from midday 10th of May. Camping behind the pub is £7.00 per night per person regardless of what vehicle you are in or on! Showers are £1.00. There is no electrical hook up available

I have provisionally booked us all a table in the restaurant for Saturday at 7.30.

I hope you can come!

Update.

There’s no entrance fee...Only the camping fee to be paid at the bar on arrival.

Winster is an old mining village and worth a walk around, and of course it’s set in the wonderful Peak District. There’s shops and pubs in walking distance.

The pub is open all day. Good food is available.

We are looking at meeting up somewhere nearby for lunch on the Saturday.

If you’ve not already had a look at the horizons site on Facebook - check it out! A lot busier on there and more feedback. (Same info)

We can have a small fire so long as it is off the ground. Mark Connell is bringing a small fire pit. We just need some wood! Anyone?

Dietary requirements and camping facility (there aren’t many) questions should be made directly to the pub. Best to phone them and not rely on them emailing you...
Anything else you can PM me

Real ale available at the bar... there’s not much of a phone signal anywhere and none at all in the pub… and the pub doesn’t have Wi-Fi

The Saturday is my wedding anniversary - 28 years - as I am now seperated ( - sorry, couldn't resist) from ex-SWMBO I suspect shall be along sometime over the weekend, not camping though.

See you there

Just a couple of questions about the mini meet in the UK
Hi there,

I've only just noticed that this was on?

The last HU meet I went to was in Bulgaria in 2022, not even sure if it was an official one, but it was great nevertheless.

I have requested to join the HU group on FB but it's pending approval so, in the meantime, could someone please tell me what the format of the event is and whether or not it's open to anyone?

Thanks very much.

Phil C

Hi Phil!

This is an official H.U. Event. (Mini Meeting)Put on by myself with Grants blessing. However there is nothing really organised unlike most of the meetings held around the world. This is primarily a social event.
Open to everyone with a keen interest in travel.

Hope you can come!

Glynn

Phil, ALL HU Events are open to everyone! NO need to be a member, though we appreciate the support. We don't discriminate in any way ever, though we do reserve the right to eject problem people. We've only done that to one, ever. And he agreed with us!

So not to worry, just get yourself there - and we don't care how you get there either, bike not required, 4wd, bicycle, shanks mare, bus, truck, all have been done and all are fine. It's all about the love of travel and seeing the world. Though we admit to a bias for motorcycles!

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.
