Update as of 14th March 2013

This trip is looking more positive now as a group appears to be emerging:

1. myself - 1 rider - definite starter;
2. Imran (@imraali) - 1 rider - possible starter;
3. James (@Markoja) - 2up - possible starters;
4. Fearless - 2 or 4 people with 1 or 2 4x4, possible starters, willing to take the Chinese guide;
5. Leo (@leonardo) - has expressed an interest. Send me PM Leo if you have any specific questions. Re bike, I will be riding an R1200 GSA.

Lisa @ NAVO will be arranging all of the bureaucracy for us - we just have to show up with our vehicles at the Touragart Pass in Kyrgyzstan on 20 Aug 2013.

There is still time for this trip to happen but we will have to pick up the momentum somewhat. If anyone else would like to join us then do please get in touch ASAP.

I also have a new Chinese contact who will be able to advise on Tibet and the chances of obtaining permits and will post a further update once I hear from him.

Charles

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.
