Now that you are all booked up and planning to attend HUBBUK (you haven't yet?........then why not  ) why not consider extending your hard-earned break and coming over to the HU Ireland event taking place the following weekend in Enniskillen (24/26 June )
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.

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

Hey Jay, Sorry for not replying I was busy travelling in Scotland with no wifi till the day before the event. I ended buying a super cheap waterproof tent from tesco $13 (which let in water almost instantly) which i will be returning, and a $7 sleeping bag which was actually ok haha. I really do appreciate the offer. My bike and camping gear arrives in a week so i can start camping properly and not get wet whenever it rains.

I have just got back rather tired but happy after a good weekend at Baskerville Hall. Thanks to everyone who made it happen and to those who came to my talk, I hope you found it helpful and interesting.

I would just like to say..
we attended our first HUBB and found it both inspirational and amazing. I did not realise how generous people would be sharing their time and knowledge.
Many thanks
mick and chris

Thank you CCM !
Had a great weekend at Baskerville Hall ( even though it rained a lot ! ) - great people and fantastic presentations , thanks to all those who organised and helped at the event , but I would like hot beans next year please  .
A very special thank you to the CCM Boys who rescued me on Sunday - I was on the white Yamaha TT 600 RE with the tank and seat off in the car park  with the recovery man who diagnosed a faulty coil ....... well to cut a long story a little bit shorter Ben kindly offered to take my bike back to Bolton in the CCM van . I arrived on Monday lunchtime with a spare coil and TCI , they let me use the workshop space and I was able to replace the faulty parts ........... RESULT ! A running bike . Thanks again to a really laid back and friendly bunch of people who saved my bacon . I would really like to be in the position to buy a GP 450 off this ( local to me ) company and maybe one day ?
So finally thanks again and .................enjoy the Jameson's Ben !

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.
