Muppix, it's lining up to be a goodie! Really looking forward to it now. Often, other than HU Meets, its the only time I see travelling friends from other parts of the UK. Great opportunity!
See you there!

Ah, guess I answered your question  You'll catch me there every day. I'm really looking forward to it. Big Buzz. But less so on a weekday, so your plan is a goodie!
Hope to see you there.
Cheers,
Sam

I emailed motorcycle live; it would be good to have a more visible presence in their advertisements! I'm looking forward to seeing the new bikes, but excited to discover some of the people you've mentioned are to be there! Thanks for that.

Hi,
Good question! They never really put any info in about travel writers (except Charlie that is) and in fact this year is the first year for a long time that they've done any promo work at all for anything to do with adventure motorcycling. Shame eh. I think its because most of us don't ride race bikes... Odd really...
If anyone reading this feels that the organisers ought to be doing more for the world of adventure travel, (promotion, exhibits, book signings etc) then perhaps you'd like to take a couple of minutes out and drop'em a line. There's just time to make a difference. enquiries@motorcyclelive.co.uk (yes I know, soap box time : )
But to answer your question
The week is spread out like this with authors on Traveldri-Plus:
27th - Simon Roberts
28th - Just me : )
29th - Simon Roberts
30th - Just me again
1st - Simon Roberts
2nd - Simon Roberts
3rd - Chris Scott
4th - Simon Gandolfi
5th - Simon Gandolfi
I'm lucky enough to be able to there every day so if you need some of my type of wall insulation, then I'll be easy to snag.
And Austin, I don't think Traveldri have heard from him yet. But that's ok, if Austin fancies a stint and can make it, then he'll turn up - probably with his usual huge grin and things hanging off his DR350!

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.
