Only a few weeks to go now, so as some additional preparation both mentally and materially I attended the Horizons Unlimited UK meeting at Ripley.
Grant Johnson's BMW has been around the world many times.
For those who don't know Horizons Unlimited and their amazing bulletin board or HUBB, it is a group of world adventure travellers, just skimming through the HUBB site you will see posts from guys on bikes and 4x4's in every corner of the world. So if I could pick up a little of their knowledge, it could only be a good thing.
I went for the weekend, what a well organised event, limited to the 1st 500 entrants, which sold out months ago, 3 seminar rooms running almost back to back events from Thursday midday to Sunday midday. This may sound like death by PowerPoint, but this was not the usual platitudes peddled at lesser events, and with such a variety of subjects and expert speakers with supporting photos I found it awe inspiring.
Although the "Preparing road kill" demo got a bit too real for some...
