Was trying to get across the ferry. There is not a lot of cars here. Had no luck, asked even the cars with the french licence plates. Then i got a ride to the port, but not across it, because the people got the cheaper ticket where you cant change the amount of passangers.―stepanfoj

Was heading to the UK. I was stupid and got in the first car that stopped that took me to the next gas station. BAD IDEA. There is lots of traffick heading to callais here, so do not go further.―stepanfoj

Hola. Nice spot to get a lift to UK. The petrol station is located in the right side of the high way only (direction to Calais). Try to get a lift at least to the M25 (highway around London), other wise if they dont go as far as the first petrol station in England, you will have to ask a lift in Dover (is not nice, too much traffic). You can also change the vehicule in the ferry. If you try this, my advice is that you do it inmediatly after parking inside, or even better in the queue waiting for the ferry after the tickets control. Good luck my friends.

just outside the city center of veurne across the Q8 gasoline station, there's place to stop for cars, plenty of cars coming from the seaside (koksijde and De Panne) goin direction Brussels. not a good place if you wish to go direction france.―Anonymous

i´m not sure if it´s the exact position, but somewhere around here (but on the motorway)is the last service station on the motorway before france. many trucks heading to the uk via eurotunnel do their last stop here before entering the train. use a sign or ask drivers (truckers should be better, most cars are full), try to be early,it´s less traffic in the evening and it´s not nice to stand there when it´s dark. but when it´s not to late, you should manage it to get a quick ride to the uk, probaly through the tunnel. trucks don´t have to pay for a second driver, but be sure having your passport with you and don´t carry any illegal shit!―Anonymous

very dangerous, had to run away, it's an old parking lot with many gay men masturbating and doing other things, don't go there!―Anonymous

Cars can park there quite easily, also on the parking spot right next to it. McDo is close to this position, too, for asking people. Furthermore there is a traffic light a little bit ahead towards the river, which also marks the end of possible spots to stand with a sign or the thumb since there is no place to stop a car and the traffic is getting too fast.―Anonymous

Got a ride in about 30 minutes to Calais, many people were going to the UK but did not want to take us across the boarder.―Jxroussel

I arrived here 4pm on Christmas Even 2011, waited almost 3 hours and only caught a ride as far as Calais. There was good traffic on the road, but not much passing through the petrol station.―Anonymous

Yes this service station is good, nearly everyone stopping here is going across the channel via Dunkerque or Calais. If you get stuck in Dunkerque town you can get bus 7 to Grande-Synthe and walk a couple km to this station. 25.8.11―Anonymous

This is a good petrol station heading to Dunkerque or Calais. Not exactly sure of the location either, as it's not on satellite.―Anonymous

I waited here but didn't catch a ride, there wasn't much traffic. The spot itself is ok, not great, but there wasn't enough people going at that time.―Chmac
