I've written about this in the hitchhiking thread before...
Anyway, today (Friday) evening I'll be leaving to Gdansk for the 10th Hitch-hiking competition.
Yesterday I learnt that 154 teams (308 people) are going to be participating. That's really a huge amount; two years ago last time I took part it was 40-something teams.
And the distance is also the greatest ever. From Gdansk in northern Poland to Split, sothern Croatia. Around 1300km in a straight line (not that anyone will be travelling in a straight line).
And apparently for the first time there are teams from outside Poland participating. People are coming from Germany and Latvia.
The competition starts Saturday 12.00 noon. First contestants are expected to arrive to the finish line Monday morning.
Wow, I'm really excited. This is going to be great. Worst of all will probably be at the start when more than 300 people are trying to leave the city at once.
Wish me luck!
