<br>- Actually I led the seminar on Freecamping at Hitchgathering last year, and last night like most nights I freecamped. In 77 days in Cyprus I have freecamped most nights and only 3 nights have I paid more than €5 to sleep. Also the Dutch guy led a workshop on travelling on €1 a day .. and in 23 years travelling I average €10/day total spending. I think we agree that places which are especially cheap or free should be listed It is just a question where we draw the line. There were 2 free places a €4 place and 2 €5 places on that list you deleted all not mentioned in the guidebooks. I would say it's good to mention the cheapest place in town, cos that really helps the traveller, they know to move on quickly to next place or free camp. Their is a strong connection between hitchwiki and shoestring travel. (if there was a shoestring travel wiki it would heavily overlap hitchwiki)
<br>- I am not minded to start editing that Wikivoyage as it's a mess ..try getting to the info for North Cyprus from their main Cyprus page.
<br>- BTW is if you search Hitchwiki for hostel is has hundreds of mentions of them .. will it be a project to delete them all ? <br> Hi since there NOT YET an official policy on mentioning places to sleep I am starting a discussion over on the Google group https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!forum/hitchwikiI invite you to come with us all and discuss it there ..may I post your words also ? New thoughts after sleeping<br> - What info do we keep in the Wiki ?<br> STUFF THAT IS USEFUL TO HITCHERS ..that is helpful<br> - What stuff do we delete ?<br> - stuff that is NOT USEFUL or DUPLICATE easily found elsewhere<br> The NO DUPLICATION rule is important but shouldn’t rule over the give helpful info rule<br> so if it doesn’t exist elsewhere or it’s difficult to find then keep it in the wiki<br><br> CRCulver misunderstood me he said ”Hitchwiki is not meant to include exhaustive listings of paid accommodation”, but all I did was post basically the cheapest known place for each region.<br>You don’t post the Hilton cos that is not useful to hitcher. In a country where cheap places are not common then it is USEFUL to a hitcher to know the cheapest place cos <br> - if it is a cold stormy day then he has the option to check in to a place for 1 night to do his washing ..and if the cheapest place is $40 he knows to look for a secret room etc.<br> and I still think it good to keep SLEEP CHEAP TIP LIST on a separate page so that it doesn’t clog the main listing.<br> as I said lets talk on the group
