Link Community Development (LCD) operates a tracking system to check the progress of Hitchers on a daily basis. This is updated every day, including at weekends. All Hitchers must check in with LCD each day that they are on the road by 4pm at the latest.

Hitch phone/text procedure:

1. Each Hitch Group must contact the Link Community Development Hitch Textline or Hitch Hotline to confirm they are starting their Hitch, and also as they leave the UK.

2. The group must then text the Textline or phone the Hitch Hotline every day before 4pm UK time – even on the first day if they have already contacted LCD to say they are setting off. They will receive an automated response if the text has been successful - if they do not receive this, they should assume their text has not been received and try again.

3. On arrival at their destination, they must text the Textline or phone the Hitch Hotline AND their Nominated Contact to report the end of your Hitch.

4. Finally, they must text the Textline or phone the Hitch Hotline upon arrival back in the UK.

Please note that Hitchers are not required to stay in contact with LCD while they are on holiday in Morocco or Prague. If you want your Hitcher to stay in touch with you while in Morocco, please make these arrangements with the Hitcher prior to departure.
