LONG ASS WAIT. Lots of full cars on holiday that couldnt take us, or fancy folk on fancy holidays. I think we got really unlucky here. 1 guy 1 fem wheelchair user.―Ryancomet

Good spot. Not many options for thumbing so asking at the door worked in like 5m once we got the corrage to do it.―Ryancomet

It works if you have the courage to talk to people. When it does work, the distances can be HUGE. 1 man and a female presenting person in a wheelchair.Good camping spot near the petrol pumps.

Really good spot, lots of charging ports for teslas - traffic go all ways but there’s lots of it. Met the only other hitchhiker I’ve ever seen in the uk here so it’s got an automatic 5/5―Kjmurray1230

Not any great spot to stand but it works well enough. Delighted to confirm the freaky geese are still there. This time they were stopping traffic―Ryancomet

This is a massive rest stop. I can highly recommend it. But when walking around the trucks, I had no luck (it took me about 45 minutes). After that, I moved to the exit with just thumbing with a sign, and it was pretty fast all the way to Leeds.―martih

Awesome spot for hitching. Large gas station. And there is an awesome view of the lake if you have a time to chill out I highly recommend to check it out.―martih

Shower, divable dumpster and a good camp spot. What more could you want. Also a quick lift―Ryancomet

Take a train from Manchester, Bolton to Blackrod. You can see how to walk to here from the train station (10-15 minutes). Easy to catch a ride straight to Glasgow or Edinburgh―Anonymous

Layby in easy walking distance from central Manchester. Good for hitching south. Traffic fast but a good place for it to stop.―Anonymous

J20a, people will not stop for you despite very substantial on ramp. In fact, you'll get abuse and stuff chucked at you. People from Warrington are lovely.―Anonymous
