As usual, there will be a Hitchgathering starting from the beginning of August this year -- come hitch to a beautiful spot to meet a bunch of other funky people to hang out, play music, do workshops, cook on the fire and celebrate the hitchhiking way of life together! After a lengthy and slightly messy decision-making process, it was decided that this year's beautiful spot in question will be at La Framondié, France. As always, please subscribe to the [https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/hitch mailing list] to join the discussion.

La Framondié is [https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/43.9890/2.5326 here]. It's a large area of forest in one of the least densely populated parts of France, and there's a collective of about 8-12 people living there. They do gardening and steward the forest, and for the future they are quite interested in offering more activities, camps for children, etc., so we might kind of be their guinea pigs :-)

As far as other orga things are concerned... I asked about ~50 people for ~2 weeks. If 100 people suddenly show up, I think it would be an issue. Camping would happen in a somewhat dispersed way -- to have a central camp and then camp in the forest around where you can find the space. There land is generally steep, but there are ancient terraces, and it's also possible to shape the terrain with a shovel to make it more amenable for camping. And of course hammocks will rule supreme :D There is plenty of firewood, plenty of wood for constructions, drinking water too. If we want to use their electricity and electrical amenities, we would probably donate some money; the same is also true for tools (saws, axes, shovels) -- we could decide if we want to bring some or perhaps they will also get some more tools for their future activities and we could support their purchase.

==== Pros ====

−
* Swimming! 20 minutes walking from the Tarn, a gorgeous swimmable river. There are also apparently waterfalls on the land that one can swim at.
 
−
* Gorgeous place, legal camping, cool people.
 
−
* The people living there are not at all worried about us bringing them Covid, or anything in regards to that.

* Of course transphobia exists in France, but probably not more than in most places.

* Since it's a remote region, dumpsters are not very close.
 
−
* They have quite a few dogs there already, so while not saying that no dogs should come, they were a bit scared by the thought that we 'are like them and 50 people would come with 50 dogs'.

We want to have a nice winter gathering this year! Here is a list of the different proposals there are.

Think about workshops you could organise! (It's very low-key.) So far, there are ideas about making circles about DIY gear-making and rounds of what-is-in-my-backpack, lockpicking workshops, herbal walks. At past gatherings there were many great workshops such as womens' circles, how-to for political marriages, clay oven building, capture-the-flag... etc pp.

The overview over the other location proposals and all the info pertaining to the decision-making process can be found at Hitchgathering/2021/Archive. The final information regarding the summer 2021 Hitchgatherings has been moved to Hitchgathering/2021/Archive/Summer. Up to date information for gathering in 2021 is here.

We want to have a nice winter gathering this year! Here is a list of the different proposals there are. User:Swaden was thinking it would be nice to have a (pre-)gathering in Western/Central Europe and another one in Norway for those who can. People could meet at the primer to go to the later together or to stay if they want to.

Date

This means with pre-gatherings from the 23th December 2021 and the main gathering(s) happening from the 30th December 2021 with the end being between the 6th and 13th of January. Dates are set only to have a common idea of beginning and ending but are certainly not strict.

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.
