Amsterdam Hitch

This weekend, myself Rich Walker Vice President (Student Activities and Development) and Ed Sparkes, Vice President (External) of Carnival took part in a charity hitch hike to Amsterdam.

We hitched from the Bristol Road to Hull, then got the ferry to Brugge, then hitched from Brugge to Amsterdam. Our group were the first to arrive in Amsterdam but unfortunately we were robbed of a victory by a group of runaway brides.

Every hitcher raised at least £60 for Carnival. This will be added to the massive pot of funds that Carnival has raised over the year, and allocated to a number of charities at a meeting on the 12th of November.

A brilliant weekend was had by all, and it was great to see the amazing things that our student groups do. For more information about Carnival, check out their website here or join the Carnival is Awesome Facebook group.
