Historically we have followed a numerology that dictates We are 15 kilometers from the next gathering should be nearest motorway exit, A7 exit 17 (Loriol) between Valence Sud and Montélimar Nord. We are also 15 km from the service station “Aire de Portes les Valence” on the 1st of August. This is the last year we can follow that traditionA7, but that doesn't mean we have to follow itbetween Valence Sud and Loriol.

==On site logistics=Leipzig, Germany====To Do===* Dig shit pits (Really? I remember someone saying that there are dry toilets on site)* Set up a fireplace.* Talk to local businesses about sharing their trash.* Find big cooking pots and gear, bring onsite.* Put up direction signs from the motorway exit.* Check with our hosts whether we can buy some of the food they produce. Otherwise check with surrounding producers (just go to the local market and ask around the stalls).
I nominate Leipzig because that's where I live and I can do shit in advance. -- [[User:Sitarane|Sitarane]] ([[User talk:Sitarane|talk]])===To have===
Leipzig is a 500* Shovels (borrow from farm?)* At least 2 big cooking pot(s) at least (borrow from farm?)* Rope* A couple of rolls big plastic bags (not the massive ones,000 people town in East30-Germany that main attractivity 50L is that it's insanely cheap, there's always good shit going on and it's probably{{fact}} easier to carry out).* Bunch of soap-bars for toilets* Empty plastic bottles (esp. the only city in the world that has big ones)* First aid kit*forestsPaper, pens, markers, tape, (black)boards* inside it. Good place to camp for usFood in all sorts.Basic stuff like salt, oil, spices,
==Communication==Pros====* You can camp in the city, away from notice, thanks to the insane amount of forest between the neighborhood.* Cheap everything.
===Online=Cons====* Bad weather (Even in august, there can be cold and rain, though unlikely)
====OtherThe website====* It's a city.The early gatherings were all in cities, and seen as a media event: One hundred hitchikers converge on one place in Europe to show that hitchhiking is safe and good. Starting with Portugal, it has evolved into just meeting up and having a good time, away from civilization. We could go back to the old paradigm, if only for the sake of doing things different.
* [http://hitchgathering.org hitchgathering.org] It's a presentation site that is meant to explain the concept to the newcomer and an online window to the outer world. It's secondary purpose is to store the stuff from previous gatherings. Needs graphics. Join [http://lists.freeactive.net/listinfo.cgi/hitch-freeactive.net the mailing list] to help. It's got Piwik and SEO plugin. Anyone feels like optimizing? Any chance we can have it in French too? -- [[User:Sitarane|Sitarane]] ([[User talk:Sitarane|talk]]) 23:35, 26 May 2015 (CEST) ====The facebook====There's an [https://www.facebook.com/events/1568866916668980/ event] already.
