To China..
Hi, Heading south and east from the UK - leaving August 2015. Hoping to be in China Dec 2015/Jan 2015.
UK - Europe - Turkey - Russia - Stans - Mongolia - China .....
The last bit is a bit up in the air as we need to find someone else to go with through China to share costs! We are willing to be flexible with our route through China if necessary but at the moment probably either ship out of China or Laos.
4 of us going in a converted Landrover ambulance.

Not going to make any solid plans till much closer to the time but now also looking at the Iran route rather than Russia route.
Hoping that relations between Iran and UK improve and they remove the requirement for UK citizens to need a guide, otherwise would be looking to share the cost of a guide with someone else (Probably in July).

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.
