I've caught a ride from here to the UK in late December 2023 and again in early March 2024. It works! Although it can take a bit of time to find somebody who is up for braving the ferry and border situation with you... As of March 2024 THERE IS NO DRINKING WATER (unless you want to buy it at petrol station prices) and the staff are really unfriendly.―Zenit

Luckily got a lift home just as the sun was setting. Stood at the exit roundabout onto the A34 not the best spot, little space to stop. Try further back at the services―Breno

Lots of traffic. Plenty of places to stand or ask around. Found a lift going to Bristol. I got dropped at Chievely, my hitch buddy continued on―Breno
