We kind of came to a conclusion than we should at least be a core group of 3/4 people to make a gathering happen and than at least few people are gonna be there for sure.

And than just before the gathering it may be a good idea to meet in a city nearby the location of the gathering, so people may feel more comfortable to meet first in an easier setting ( especially if the gathering location is a Cabin in the middle of nowhere in the mountain )

Tonight 22/11/2023 many people talked on the hitchwiki matrix group chat and we came to a decision to do this new year's gathering in a nice '''cabin''' in '''Switzerland''' were already few winter gatherings happened in the last years.

Right now there is no decision of location, just somewhere in europe ( or nearby europe ), around new year's eve, the location will depends on what the core group want and can find.

Mrmagicmax proposed a Cabin in Romania, me I'm more leaning towards trying to find a Cabin in the Alps or a nice place/spot/beach somewhere in west/south europe, we'll see, it's too early to tell.

Probably between the 26th december and early january, it more depends on if people wanna come around the 23th december or more around the 28th december for example, and if people feel like staying few days after the 31th december or feel like stay a week or two more, can't say.

There is an abandoned guesthouse called Cabana Valea Radului close to Făgăraș at around 1400m of altitude, see [https://osmand.net/map?pin=45.60187,24.94203#17/45.60187/24.94203 osmand] for more information. [[User:Mrmagicmax|Mrmagicmax]] found it while hiking in the area and gladly answers all your questions about it. It does not have running water or electricity, but a lot of space and all in all is in good shape. Drinking water can be obtained from the river next to the house - [[User:Mrmagicmax|Mrmagicmax]] didn't get sick from it, yet. No dumpsterdiving spots in the area have been discovered so far. The house has a oven, but it was not tried yet, whether it is working. There is enough firewood in the forest around it. There is also a smaller shelter further up the mountain at ~2100m, called Refugiul Curmăturii Brațile, which some very adventureous people could try to reach. Access to the house was via a broken window and there were also traces of people using it as their home (A matress and a blanket, some dog poo on the floor), but no person could be found.

The Cabin is more or less 1400m high, I checked the weather and it should be around -3/3°C by day and -10/0°C by night. We'll be in a nice Cabin with a stove so it should be pretty warm inside, but the first floor who is the sleeping area is colder than the ground floor.

once we are a bit more people ( right now we are 3 involve in the organization of this gathering ) we could vote to choose a pretty warm place somewhere in the southern part of europe, set a date in a big city in the area and from there go with our own camping stuffs and find a nice place to camp.
