Planning

Vesna: November 2017: I am looking for a core group of people who want to take a responsibility to make LikaCamp2018 happen: 5-7 people for the 20-30 participants in total.

My initial goals include:

• bringing kids, camping, sharing the meals, sharing the expenses fairly; sharing the responsibilities in advance ;
  • nice to have: climbing, swimming, collecting medicinal herbs,
• what I do NOT want is: big projects, Internet, to hire a cook ; to have an "open invite" ; to charge money in order to pay some people;
• possible times: MeiVakantie (2018-04-27 to 2018-05-13) or 2 weeks in the summer (between 21.7. & 1.9.)

Vesna: January 2018: Waiting till mid-February, after FOSDEM, to initiate the group-discussion about the plans.

February 2018: there is interest; we moved on to choose the date & And made a mailing list

Plan for mid-March:

• review the poll results
• meet in person, in Amsterdam
• have a video/phone call with people not in amsterdam
• share the announcement with the rest of UnCiv list (althou the like & the intention was posted in January..)

Pricing Considerations

Transportation costs

Given the fact that the LikaCamp site isnt very close to civilization (yay!), transportation by car/taxi/horse is the most convenient manner to get anyone/anything there or back out again. Walking from the nearest bus/train location is technically feasible but involves about 12-14km through semi-rough terrain (dont expect to take a wheeled suitcase). Using a bike is possible too but would require some logistics first as there are no bikes on the premises normally.

Destination	Description	Reason	Distance	Duration	Cost
Gracac	Closest town	Supermarket,tools,supplies,train,bus	14km (28KM)	24min (48min)	Eur2.66 (Eur5.32)
Gospic	Large town	Rare goods,train,bus	63km (126km)	1h4min (2h8min)	Eur11.97 (Eur23.94)
