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

Second time here. People just as nice. Cardboard still round back

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.

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.

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

Lots of cars stopped but most were going to Birmingham or up the M6. I was hoping to get onto the M1 but gave up and went up the M6

Mi kredas, ke mi uzis numerplaton por Manĉestro. Vere interesa rumano, plena de fanfaronado kaj bona muziko, lasis min ĉe la stacidomo Crewe, de kie mi prenis trajnon al la pramo al Dublino. Dankon, Paŭlo.

Knutsford services. Good for getting south, esp. to birmongham.

Walkable distance from knutsford train station

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.

Depends where you're trying to get to

Avoid if you're trying to get North of Manchester! - go back to Sandbach and then up.
Ok for getting lifts into Manchester, sometimes liverpool or toward Leeds.

Asking around at this truck station is your best bet instead of the ramps. Trucks tend to be heading South especially in the evening but there are literally a hundred rigs there later in the day, and although most are laid up you will probably be able to get a night journey. There is a Cafe (expensive) where you can chat to drivers or just walk around with a sign, which works for me. Had one of the best rides ever in the UK from here.
