Did not get a ride. In theory there's a spot to stop but you need a sign to even get them to pay attention. It's almost highway speeds, although there is a traffic light so might work. Was trying to head to amesbury but no one showed interest regardless
Was offered a ride by the first car, going the wrong way. Silence for ages, so i reset my goals for something closer and thankfully someone going the right direction stopped for me. Good service station to stop at in totnes cross
Summer solstice. Trying to go west (all the way to london and scotland apparently easier). Lots of hippies etc, easy to get a ride in general, but from what i heard, the tradition of celebrating the solstice at stonehenge and then going to glastonbury is now over (as told to me by a 50-yo taxi driver), so will be more difficult than in the past to go west
Asked the first guy, got a ride to exeter services. He offered to take me a bit further too. Classic and kinda down to earth car, helped a bit probably. 4 stars coz it could be a fluke
