Merv, what road you took? If you go through Onaisin it's a great road, but it is raining since last tousday (7 days in a row) and it might ruined the road.

We took the route down my the Y79 then left onto the Y71, and I though it was rough - Rough as in bumpy in our truck, but no bad ruts or anything. Nothing that would stop anything getting through, we were being passed by cars.
Oh, and great news, the sleet has stopped, and been replaced by rain so it's grand now :-)
Merv.

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.
