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) |
