1 year on the road - FAQS, hints & Tips
Hi Folks
We finished our 1 year road trip down West & central Africa and have posted an FAQ / hints and tips list covering a whole range of stuff from medical, security, borders, bribes, visas, photography etc..etc....Most of it is applicable to two or four wheel travel in most counties.
You can view it at our website: FAQs - Langebaan Sunset - Stonehenge UK to Cape Town SA - 2010/11
Hope it helps with your own trip planning
Cheers
Nick

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.
