The Hitch 2010 is the biggest yet with over 1,450 taking part this Easter! If you have already registered and have any questions please email hitch@lcd.org |
Hitch 2010 takes place between Monday 15th March and Friday 23rd April. You can set off any time you like after the start date. You must have finished hitch-hiking by the end date, although you can return to the country after this point.
Take on the challenge today and have an Easter holiday to remember as you experience one of the most liberating and eye-opening methods of transport: hitch-hiking!
You will arrive at your destination not only knowing that you have conquered one of the biggest challenges around, but also that you have raised valuable money that will improve the education and lives of thousands of children less fortunate than yourself.
With a minimum fundraising target of just £350, this is truly one of the most affordable and exciting overseas fundraising events around...
The Morocco Hitch
Hitching the entire 1,200 mile journey to the coast of Africa is a truly remarkable achievement.
The journey takes you through the heart of rural France, onto Spain and a brief pause for paella, and finally into Morocco where a truly rich and distinctive culture awaits you.

The Prague HitchAt 700 miles, the Prague Hitch and ideal for those with less free time at Easter.
It may be a shorter journey but the Prague Hitch is equally memorable as you pass through several modern European countries before arriving in Prague, a city famous for its breathtaking architecture, young backpacking culture and cheap beer.
