Should be a great weekend.

No wall of death! That's a disappointment, I was quite looking forward to having a go at that. Never mind, I can console myself with a burger or something. There is a McDonalds, right?

(Actually, given how useful McDonalds wi-fi is when you're on the road maybe they ought to be there.)

Confirmation
Hi all.
Stupid question, I registered and paid for the UK event in January, was there a confirmation e mail, the reason I ask is that some of my folders in my e mail have disappeared (thanks Virgin). Is there a way of checking I am on the list? I am just trying to be organised for a change.

Also, my son (17) has seen the site and wants to come, I am assuming I need to register him separately.

Any help for this newbie would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Yes, you should get a confirmation email within seconds of submitting. If not, the email address you entered is bad, or Virgin lost it! (there's something funny there, just not sure what...)

Yes, you ARE registered and even paid!

Yes, EVERYONE registers separately, it's the only way we can be sure to get it right.

How's that - three yeses! oops better make that three

see you there

Thanks Grant, I'll get my lad registered, I am assuming my entry will be ok without a copy of the e mail.
Really looking forward to it.

Why does everyone think that a road bike is for roads and only an adventure bike is for adventures. Sean did the Pan American on a 100cc Honda Cub. There are plenty of instances of like minded souls doing the same.
I have decided to do a "JoinTheDots" tour to all the places I've missed out on over the years. But not decided which bike to use. So will be discussing this over a glass of something at the HU.
Hope Ted is there to give us some advice.
Look forward to meeting ya'all.
I'll be there this year, arriving thursday afternoon with sheese and wine (perfect contact kit ) hope to see you there. Are you coming to the french one in september? It's gonna be a fantastic meeting,as usual (well done Pongo! )

see you all very soon
Ride safe and cool

Roger

Son is registered and paid for, just a thought, my tent was going on my back seat so where shall I put him?
Neil, had a look at your site, trucks look awesome.
Can't wait to get some ideas for my next trip.

I really hope this event is a success! Would there be any minor date changes in future years, or is this date pretty much set for the foreseeable future?

My party of 3 have had to change our plans quite a bit. We can no longer come using the bikes we planned, and will be one car and one 4x4. We will also be arriving very late Thursday night rather than Thursday afternoon. What time will Reception close on Thursday and re-open Friday morning?

The HUBB has always been traditionally held the same weekend. Its sometimes changed due the venues commitments but middle of June is the ideal date!

Details for the weekend can be found at:

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/events/ireland-2016

If you enjoy the HUBBUK meeting (and you will !) then you will certainly enjoy the Ireland meeting with the added bonus of having the opportunity to explore some of the great scenery and roads in Ireland. And need I mention the Irish hospitality, the "craic" and just perhaps, Guinness

Whichever HU event you choose to attend, where ever it may be in the world, you can be assured of a great weekend in the company of like-minded people.

Slainte from Ireland
Hi Liam,
We'd have loved to pop over to do some more of the Wild Atlantic Way in our Land Rover Carawagons and join you at HU Ireland again, but too many things have conspired to get in our way this year as I'm sure Steve will have told you

A shame as we loved the informal, more 'intimate' meeting there last year, but don't worry - we're planning on trying again for next year

Hopefully see you then

Cheers,
Robin

Hello all, i don't know if this is the place to put this but here goes.
My bike is currently on a ship inbound from Sydney to the UK, i have been informed it won't be here until the 23rd of June.
All my camping gear is in the crate with the bike, i have registered and paid for the HUBB UK event but with no easy way to get there or a tent, its minimum 11 hours to get there from London via public transport and walking if i don't get lost.
Is anyone from London heading over and back via their car and would allow me to tag along for fuel money?
Also I'm looking to rent at least a tent if anyone won't be using their one for the event. I can find cheap used tents on eBay, getting to the event is more what I need help with.
Cheers and looking forward to meeting some of you at the event

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
