You will be glad to hear that some of the people following our blog have actually asked to see us and that we do a live presentation. Since we'll do it at the HUBB anyway, we directed them to here, so a few new people should definitely come this year and discover HU also!


Cheers from Kyrgyzstan, as our offroad journey is about to end...

We're delighted to announce that Touratech in Germany and the UK are supporting the HUBB UK event as sponsors of the north and west camping fields. They'll also have a stand in the Adventure Travel Zone.

272 days to go

Will we have to pay a premium for the Touratech UK field?

Seriously, though, I'm already looking forward to going! I had a great time last year.

Personal note from me on the Touratech sponsorship - would have made it before when the news came in but Birgit and I have been on a ride .

"Thanks very much. You guys getting involved like this are one of the key ways that we have been able to keep the cost for people attending at the same rate for the third year running. This is something we have been really keen to do. Keeps pennies in people's pockets for the road."

At long last my boss got the proverbial finger out of his (insert something suitable) and I got the holiday selection sheet, Yee Haaaa the week with the dates we need for the HUBB are free, so I guess we will be there in 2014.
Now I get a few months to figure out an interesting route to get there, home will be a quick blast up the M roads to the sunny North.

We've had some great news this morning! The TRF (Trail Riders Fellowship) are going to be joining us at the HUBB UK again next year, but this time they are going to be doing some Green Lane rideouts! Fantastic.

We'll be posting more info on the rides a couple of months before so you are ready to ride. The area surrounding Donington Park Farmhouse is quite beautiful and the guys are looking forward to showing riders bits that most people don't normally get to see.

We haven't said much about the opportunities to be a presenter at HUBB UK yet, so here's a quick run-down....

We welcome ideas for presentations and workshops from everyone with a story to tell about their past/present/future travels and those with some sort of specialist knowledge/expertise.

Around 80 people gave presentations in nearly 200 sessions of talks, workshops and demos at HUBB UK 2013. Over 25 people have already registered as presenters for next year and we'd like the 2014 schedule to feature even more variety than last time.

THE most important thing about HUBB UK is that it's about overland travellers sharing information and inspiration with fellow overland travellers. There's a friendly and very understanding atmosphere, so even if you haven't given a talk in public before, don't be put-off giving it a go. HUBB UK audiences almost never bite

Presenters get free entry to the whole event, one free HUBB UK t-shirt and the kudos of being included in the gallery of presenters on the event page with a link to their website.

The venue has five presentation rooms and numerous outside spots for workshops and practical demos. The schedule gets organised in 40 minute and 90 minute sessions and we also offer the opportunity for people to give Pecha Kucha presentations, which feature 20 slides each staying on screen for 20 seconds.

If you'd like to share your story or expertise at the event, please do register as a presenter as soon as you can.
