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
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, as young people embark on an adventurous journey towards the Isle of Wight. Along the A3 highway, every hundred yards or so, motorists find themselves encountering an intriguing sight - hitchhikers eagerly thumbing for a lift. It is evident that these hitchhikers are no ordinary travelers; they are pop fanatics with one ultimate destination in mind - the mammoth pop festival. The image exudes a sense of freedom and wanderlust that characterized youth culture during the 1970s. The vibrant fashion choices and carefree attitudes displayed by these hitchhikers reflect the spirit of this transformative decade. Amongst them stands a black woman adorned with a stylish headscarf, adding diversity to this snapshot of youthful rebellion. Eric Piper's lens beautifully freezes this moment in time, capturing not only the physical act of hitchhiking but also encapsulating an entire generation's desire for exploration and connection. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how travel can unite individuals from different backgrounds under one common passion. As we delve into this nostalgic piece, we cannot help but be transported back to August 1970 when this scene unfolded. The Isle of Wight Festival became synonymous with counterculture movements and musical revolutionaries who sought solace in its harmonious atmosphere. Memory Lane Prints has once again unearthed an evocative gem from our past, allowing us to relish in moments that shaped our collective history.
