HI Sam,

I saw the announcement for the ride Dover-Donington with Grant and Susan.

I like the idea riding with them and I´m happy that I´m in Englang at at that time.

Where can I find some further information about starting time or meeting point?
Cause I have to change some plans riding the south of UK then.

Could you help me?

Tabea

Because I'm feeling a bit pooped after the BMF show I'm sitting having a ride down memory lane this morning. There are quite a few Youtube films from previous years of the HUBB UK out there and they've all made me smile. What a brilliant atmosphere. This one is from Louise Wilson.

I see you've said you're going on the Facebook event page. Do you still need more info or are you all sorted now?

See my previous post about what we've sorted out.

Will there be a parking charge for non-expedition vehicles? I doubt I'll get my bike fixed by then. Might have to borrow a car...

Hi Senno, nope no charge. That's one of the great things about being at Donington. But bad news about your bike. Good luck on that!!!

Thanks Sam. Glad to hear the parking charge is gone. I've happily paid it in the past but this year money's too tight to mention!

Gonna need all the luck there is to get this bloody bike fixed
Grrr!!

Any sessions on Iran/Visa/Guides planned ?

As subject, this would seem to be warming up to a hot topic (well for me and a few others at least).

Hi Bruce,

Graham Field will touch on it a bit in his presentation and Ed March may have stuff to say about Iran in one of his too. That's about it though from memory.

Friday - Sun and cloud, 18C, dry
Saturday - Sun and cloud, 19C, rain in the evening

No further updates as I'll be on my way quite soon, and again if it doesn't quite work out like that then complaints to the BBC weather people please.

Still looking dodgy as far as me going is concerned. Not enough cash in my pocket at this moment, so unless I can beg, borrow or steal...

On the off chance I can make it, what's the earliest I can arrive Thursday morning? I'd quite like to get there dead early and pitch up before the day starts.

Dunno if Sam or Iain are still checking this thread...

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.
