[[User:Swaden|Swaden]] If everyone is proposing August 2th 2021 for the official beginningfine with that, following the [[Hitchgathering#Time|infos]] on the main page. As of now, there's a consensus for the beginning of August, so let's dates are set this as an "official" date for nowsimilarly to the other years. == Location == Travel restrictions are evolving. As of now a good bet could be:*Eastern Europe (why?)*Switzerland or Sweden (because they have been very soft This means with their travel restrictions so far) Set deadline for fixing a location is May 1st. === Wolimierz, Poland === Dama suggests as a location for the gathering: [https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/50.95248/15.30663 Stacja Wolimierz]. An old train station that's been converted into a theatre and festival place. She says:<br> :"I was a volunteer there in 2018. At the time I asked if they'd be up for allowing the Hitchgathering to happen there, and they said yes. We would probably have to volunteer a bit in exchange. They have their own festival there in July every year, so the beginning of August would probably be fine. I left the place on semi'pre-awkward terms with gatherings from the owners, so I wouldn23th December 2021'''t want to ask unless people really want to do it there." ==== Pros ==== * People there should be happy to host considering the vibe of the festival.* Plenty of space for camping on their festival grounds. * Dry toilets are available* Possibility for a big pregathering at Kesselberg and then hitching to Wolimierz as a big colourful flock of odd-birds ==== Cons ==== * There are no dumpsters really close, and '''the ones that are further away might not be very good main gathering(although Poland does hide some surprisingly plentiful divings).* No swimming -- there is a pond on happening from the Czech side for those who are quite determined, about 7 kilometers away.* Multiple people who have been there or not expressed strong concern on 30th December 2021 with the mailing list about the inclusiveness of end being between the people there, along Poland as a country. Other people also said it was very nice 6th and are supportive 13th of the idea, see the mailing list for discussion and donJanuary'''t mix up Atelier Wolimierz and Stacja Wolimierz. === Łąków, Poland === Dama has another proposal, in part because of the above concerns: A private plot of land in Łąków, Poland. The closest village is called Rudnica. It’s 47 km away from the German border. Our host would be a guy named Paweł, who I met in Wolimierz (the location of the other proposal). I don’t know him very well and I’ve never been Dates are set only to the location. I asked him about hosting the HG have a couple of years ago, and called him today to see if he’d still be up for it. He agreed straight away, but seemed to be in a rush, so I couldn’t ask him everything I wanted to. He said to call again closer to the date common idea of the HG. If this is a place people would consider then I can call again, or send a text message with some questions. ==== Pros ==== * Private land with permission from the owner.* Paweł has agreed to two weeks at the beginning of August, he just asked that a couple of people come beforehand to set things up.* Close to the German border (for those concerned about traveling through Poland).* Space for up to 100 people. I mentioned that between 20-100 people would show up, he seemed fine with this.* Less pressure to volunteer. It would still be nice to help out and do things, ending but (unlike Wolimierz) it isn’t an organized volunteer place.* He said there’s definitely a place to swim on his land. Seeing the map, I’m not sure if he meant the little stream, or one of those little lakes (he mentioned both a river a lake during our conversation). ==== Cons ==== * Safety concerns due to Poland’s political actions against LGBTQ rights.* Time limit of two weeks.* I’ve never been there, I don’t know the owner very well (he seems very nice and easygoing, but I don’t know how reliable he is).* I don’t know if there are any good dumpsters around.* By deciding on a location early and spreading the news, I’d be a little worried if way too many showed up (something to ask Paweł about).* I’m certainly not sure about the current (or future) covid restrictions in Poland. Since it would be on private land, my main concern would be that Paweł would get in trouble for hosting people. Maybe we could agree on something beforehand in case this were to happen (i.e. if he got a fine). === Montpellier, France === Lu. has mentionned on the mailing list that it might be possible to be hosted at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_to_Defend ZAD] du Lien near Montpellier. ==== Pros ==== * Lu. says the people here have plans for the summer so they might be interested. Helping will probably be needed.* Plenty of space for camping. * Easy dumpster diving at Montpellier. ==== Cons ==== * Possible evacuation by police. === Kinnaroden, Norway (Cape Nordkinn) === There is a small cabin at Europe's northest point Kinnaroden in Norway as mentionned by To. ==== Pros ==== * Dumpster diving possible next town.* Beach close by. * Fresh water available. ==== Cons ==== * Far from central Europe.* Pretty isolated === Abisko, Sweden === There is a free camp site in the National Park as mentionned by Tostrict.
==== Pros ====''' Voting to settle locations will be done on November 30th 2021 on Framapoll''' (once again, this doesn't mean we can't change stuff: this is for ease of organisation). Anyone is free to do a gathering at whichever date and location they want.
* Sweden never closed it's border due to COVID-19.* Small dumpster close by and bigger one 40 km from there.== Locations ==
* …Tob. mentioned a spot in the Signal group, he's invited to add more here or to remove this part :).

There will be games, music, skinnydipping if there's Vienna has been mentioned twice on the Signal group as a lake, or otherwise rolling around naked in the sand. Massage circles and many, many workshops. Late-night joints and bottles of wine passed around, discussions on how to -- you knowpossible location.
Stickers have been printed by CM. See said people there are friendly and might be open for hosting a gathering. Some people might really like it and some people might be more reticent towards the mailing list for informationsidea of being "hosted" in regard to organization and their experiences of other similar gatherings.
C. proposed Kesselberg, an anarchist bastion in a forest in Germany for a pregathering. He n said there is a group called [https://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/ Ecotopia] doing a bike tour and that we he could meet with them. Some people of the mailing list are part of the organisation so communication is easy. Like he said in his mail, I think it's host a good idea to have pregatherings so few people can met in smaller groups and have already a little bit of connivance before reaching the main gathering. Doing this is nice but we need to coordinate correctlyVienna. --[[User:Swaden|Swaden]] ([[User talk:Swaden|talk]]) 18:47, 24 March 2021 (CET)
We can organize easily small pregatherings at the infinity of forest cabins available in === Jura, Switzerland, Sweden or Norway.===
== Online event ==Plenty of cozy cabins can make up for a ''uncomplicated'', comfy and relaxed gathering as it was the other years.
Some people have proposed the idea of conducting an online event for people not able to attend the gathering.[[Category:Hitchgathering]][[Category:Hitchgathering/2021]]{{IsIn|Earth}}{{IsIn|Europe}}
