got an offer to go on LeShuttle but they wanted us to pay. After a short while, got an offer to Dover from a Polish truck driver who spoke very little English. Lots of European cars stopping here.―Alifeee

we were heading to Dover. it took a while to get a lift, but we were 3 people. our friends arrived to hitch after us and took a lift before us (cheeky). eventually found a lift to Maidstone after trying several spots (food court, fuel station, roundabout). Lots of French/German/Belgian/etc cars around.―Alifeee

A long wait. There’s lots of EU number plates and truckers. A couple offers to Folkestone, a couple apologetic “we would if we had space”. Eventually we found a lift to Belgium. Unfortunately our lift would not add us to her ticket and offered to continue the lift after we had made our own way to Calais. Foot passenger ferries only come three times a day and our arrivals would not align. We got dropped at Dover―Breno

Took a while but hitchhiking the channel can be competitive here, when competitive in the morning, you have a better chance here going to France.―Anonymous

Pretty bad junction, traffic in most directions has nowhere to pull over. Eventually had more luck standing by the roundabout itself (where marked) than by the slipways.―Anonymous

Traditionally the No 1 spot of choice for crossing the channel. Also check out the lorry park. Interesting fact: The staff are super nice and will let you sleep in the very comfy massage chairs.―Anonymous

Found it hard to find somebody going towards Dover while asking at the petrol station. Most were going towards London.―Koendev

Agree this would be my choice for going to the continent. Either outside the shops or at the exit road spot mention as well, depending on how you feel.―Anonymous

Friday morning, waited 2 hours 30mins. Most traffic seemed to be heading to London at that time. Very easy to chat to drivers stopping for a coffee though, and was offered a lift through to Calais on the Eurotunnel.―JoeMclo

Was offered a ride to Dunkirk by a trucker although I was not heading that way. He said virtually ALL of the truckers there are heading to Calais (a few must be heading to London, and very very few to Dunkirk).―Laonikoss

Do not try going up north around London from east side. I was going Sunderland from here, and after two hours I deicded to head back to Dover, then in 1 hour truck took me. Everyone seems to be going South.―Strazdas007
