Beats the library

hitchhike Race2Prague RAG

20 teams set off at 9am this morning from Potterow in an attempt to hitchhike to Prague, spending no money on transport along the way.

Alice and Lucy, who are raising money for Nightline.

As part of RAG’s Race2Prague the teams will try to persuade drivers to pick them up from the side of the road, or even try to blag flights, all in the name of charity.

Team ‘Tough Titty’: Heather and Lauren

Team ‘Keep Calm We’re Lost’: Jane and Elaina

But problems can arise, with previous disasters including a team finding themselves totally stuck in Calais for 14 hours.

Team ‘Edinbros’: Max and Ryu

Team ‘Delirium Tusco’: Victoria and Naomi

Team ‘Princesses in Prague’: Lauren and Elidh

That said, if successful they get to spend the week partying in Prague.

You can follow their progress throughout the weekend here.
