Ok, this is my short rant about getting to the UK. It's hard, like really hard. Stop thinking about that in your average hitchhiking times, multiple it by 10. It's like waiting for Godot, but it's the same as ever, it's not matter of change, but time and persistence. I got lucky with a Norwegian car, they told me that they are going in two days and I agreed. But it's extremely difficult and absolute majority don't want to even speak to you once they hear the word UK. Foreign license plates are your goal, but it's still going to be a massive pain. I approached UK cars without a sign and just waved my sign to anyone else. Have your passport and ETA ready and the best of luck for all of you.―martih

Very busy roundabout. Not so easy for cars to stop, but I managed a ride onto the Channel Tunnel Shuttle in less than half an hour.―Anonymous

It seemed to be a good spot towards Dover (A2 entrance, lights) but I had to wait there for two hours.―Anonymous

A fairly good spot at the bus stop to get out of Ashford. I had a sign saying M20 on it. Some people are leaving the hospital and are heading to the motorway. Got picked up in 30 minutes by a guy from the hospital.―Anonymous
