'''6-8-10''' (or 6810 or 6/8/10 or 06/08/10) is the proposed title for the third edition of the annual '''European hitchhiking festival'''.
The first two editions European hitchhiking festival took place in [[ParisSines]], [[FrancePortugal]] on 08/08/08 and in [[Odesa]], [[Ukraine]] on 07/08/09. See [[888]] and [[789]] for past discussions and informationwith approximately 80 participants participating.
==Latest News = Destination Proposals ===Please add your comments/ideas to this list of cities. When adding proposals or suggestions, please keep in mind that the prevailing opinion at 789 was to have a sort of club/local community/people at or nearby the spot to help organizing the whole event. The visa-issues thing with Eastern European hitchhikers also can not be solved easily, the only solution at the moment would be to have the event in Moldova/Ukraine every year. So the general idea is to switch between Western and Eastern Europe yearly. If you do not agree with this point of view, please feel free to state your arguments!

Good: Big enough, good for promotion in Lisbon.

* Location at a windmill with forest/field, 3-4 km to the beach
* Probably camping at the beach
* Positive: water available, support from friendly locals
* Negative: little shadow available, having to walk 3-4 km between the two spots

* little village at the seaside, 160 km south of Lisbon
* camping in the heart of town possible, though probably not admitted
* Positive: active support from locals who offered to mediate with the city hall. BBQ, shadow, showers, toilets, next to the beach, good promotion opportunities after a world music festival that takes place there at the end on July.
* Negative: need to be decided what strategy to adopt with regards to local authorities:
option1- we ask for permission to the camping owners (the city municipal county)
option 2- we just go there and we stay for 3 days with the risk that facilies are closed.
