Every hundred yards or so down the A3 motorists find themselves being thumbed for a lift

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Eric Piper in August 1970, the bustling A3 road becomes a lifeline for hundreds of enthusiastic pop fans on their pilgrimage to the Isle of Wight. Every hundred yards or so along this iconic route, motorists find themselves encountering eager hitchhikers with outstretched thumbs, hoping for a lift to the mammoth pop festival. The image exudes an unmistakable sense of youthful energy and adventure. Clad in vibrant clothing that epitomizes the fashion trends of the era, these free-spirited hitchhikers proudly display their individuality as they eagerly await their next ride. Their bags slung over shoulders suggest both practicality and a nomadic spirit ready to embrace new experiences. Amidst the sea of young faces lies an underlying camaraderie shared among these music-loving souls. The festival serves as a unifying force, bringing together people from all walks of life who are united by their love for music and desire to be part of something extraordinary. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the distant melodies drifting through open truck windows while trucks laden with equipment rumble past. It is a moment that encapsulates not only an era but also captures the essence of youth culture at its most vibrant – where freedom, self-expression, and communal celebration intertwine harmoniously on this journey towards musical bliss.
