Russian trip 2020
Hi,

Last year I rode my Super Tenere solo from my home in Shropshire to Norkapp, Norway and raised over £10,000 for a certain organisation in the process. Next year, my 70th, I am hoping to embark on another trip for them, again from my home and again solo, to and from Vladivostok along the Trans Siberian Highway. I have researched some of this trip and the route but would really be obliged for any advice from anyone who has actually done it. Frequency of fuel stations, pitfalls in getting accommodation, general do's and don'ts and the sort of thing that only someone who has actually done the trip would know. Equally, if anyone is thinking of a Norway trip I can help.

Thank you,

Kindest regards,

Mervyn Smith

Hello.
Go to motorustravel.
They have some good information about travel to Vladivostok on their homepage.

Best regards Gunnar

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.
