    Can you think of a better way to celebrate the end of exams than in one of the most exciting and most renowned cities in Europe? Last year, 94 students hitchhiked from Leeds and headed to the Dutch capital with little more than a ferry ticket, a brightly coloured t-shirt and a map – raising almost £14,000 for local and international charities.


    That’s your challenge – travel to Amsterdam from the Parkinson Steps for free! The 5-day event includes a raucous overnight ferry-ride from Hull to Zeebrugge in Belgium and a full day of hitching lifts through the low-countries.

    This is an unforgettable opportunity to travel to one of the must-visit cities in Europe, meet loads of other Leeds University students and experience the famous culture of one of the most varied and beautiful cities in Europe – all whilst raising money for our chosen charity.
