Can I also express an interest? I should be back in the UK around the end of April 2014 and intend being at the HU meet. Perhaps a group meeting there then heading north. I should have my 1200GS back on the road then so plenty of space to avoid an alcohol free Norway leg. Only proviso I have is that I must be back in Scotland for the referendum to ensure that Wee Eck is given his marching orders. Ride safe.

Great!
Let's start making plans although I wouldnt mind improvising as we move along..
I must admit though that I have a selfish interest. I woul like very much to visit Riga either on the way up or on the way down (must pay tribute to my childhood hero)
I'll be travelling on a Triumph Explorer 1200.
Best,
jazzmd

I'm off to S.E.Asia on the 14th Sep. for 6-7mths, anything to avoid the winter on Scotland's east coast, but as regards route planning, up to the top through Norway then back down the other side of the Baltic taking in the Winter Palace on the way and any diversions that look nice would suit me. Ride safe.

I had to search for that one, not having heard of him previously by that moniker.
You might like this website that was exposed to me by my search, for the first time (and it might help others who have never come across "wee Eck" before today :confused1

Hi Mike,
I've been thinking about a trip in this area for a while now, it sounds fantastic. What type of bike will you be riding and what are your intentions regarding accommodation.
Regards,
Mark.

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.
