Every hundred yards or so down the A3 motorists find themselves being thumbed for a lift
Every hundred yards or so down the A3 motorists find themselves being thumbed for a lift - the goal of hundreds of pop fan hitch hikers is the Isle of Wight, and the A3 is the route to the mammoth pop festival.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken by Eric Piper in August 1970, we are transported back to a time of freedom and youthful adventure. The image captures the essence of an era when hitchhiking was not only a means of transportation but also a symbol of rebellion and camaraderie. Along the A3 road, every hundred yards or so, motorists find themselves being thumbed for a lift by hundreds of pop fan hitchhikers. Their destination? The Isle of Wight - home to the mammoth pop festival that has become their ultimate goal. As we gaze at the photograph, we can almost feel the excitement and anticipation radiating from these young souls. The fashion choices depicted here reflect the spirit of the times: bell-bottom jeans, vibrant sunglasses, and wide-brimmed hats adorned with flowers. These hippies exude an air of carefree confidence as they stand together on the roadside with their bags packed tightly beside them. A lorry passing by serves as a potential ride for these adventurous spirits seeking musical bliss on their journey. It is through thumbing rides like this that they navigate their way towards unforgettable experiences at music festivals – places where dreams come alive through melodies that resonate deep within their souls. This evocative print encapsulates not just an iconic moment in history but also represents youth's unwavering pursuit for freedom, self-expression, and connection through shared experiences.
