Students Alison Webb and Kate Young raised 200 for the homeless charity Shelter with a half-term hitch-hike back in 1976.
The pals from Newcastle University travelled to Munich and back a distance of 2, 200 miles in just four days on their mercy mission for the charity. Their round trip took them through Holland, Belgium and Germany.
They managed it with just 32 lifts, mostly on lorries in Britain and private cars on the Continent.
We decided to try to cover as many miles as we could in four days to raise money for Shelter. We hoped to manage 1, 000 and eventually covered about 2, 200, said 19-year-old Kate.
