HU Traveller's Meeting, Fairbridge, WA.
So what is HU you may be asking, it stands for Horizons Unlimited.
Every year there is an event in Western Australia, they also have multiple gatherings all over, the world.
Horizons Unlimited was started in 1997 by Grant & Susan Johnson, a couple of Adventure Motorcyclists. Its primarily for Motorcyclists, but also used by Overlanders & Cyclists. http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ is full of valuable travel information & advice.
The Fairbridge event went from 12 noon Friday to 12 noon Sunday. It cost the pair of us about $150 to attend, which includes camping. I thought it was good value.
The nights were cold, we were happy to have the Kombi Camper !
There was a great turn out, huge variety of Bikes.
During the event many different people give talks about their motor bike adventures, like Vince & Karen http://www.2upadventures.com/ who rode from London to Bangkok on their BMW GS1200.
There was heaps of good presentation, from a variety of amazing travellers. Jen & I were both keen to hear the talk from Damian Roper, the MD of Nevermind Adventures.
That is the company we will spend our first couple of weeks with in Rajasthan, India next month, touring around on 500cc Royal Enfields.
It also turns out that Damian will be leading our tour....cool, he is a really approachable bloke, with heaps of good info for us.
We took the soft camping option & I drove old DIXYBUS, our VW Kombi. While Jenny rode her Motor Bike for the first time in nearly 2 months.
It was a top weekend and we really hit it off with Simon, Sue & Aaron. When I get a chance I'm looking forward to reading Simon & Sue's blog;
About their 12 months traveling around Europe on a Motor Bike.
The Horizon Unlimited motto : The Achievable Dream.
