Im back and am sad to report that you were all right. Hitching is pretty dismal especially in crap weather. It seems I made a serious miscalculation in the actual size of France and the generosity of drivers there. Fortunately it cost us about the same to get a plane there when we were all hitched out. 

[robertostallioni]

No tales of derring do as expected?
No unrequited back door stretchage?
Hilarious meetings with other likeminded travelling types?
Border crossing/truckstop shenanigans?
Please relive your tales, consider it a thorough debriefing in the pumping room.

[Will Hunt]

Well I guess you had to be there for a lot of it. The kids who gave us a ride from Leeds to Sheffield were pretty funny. Doing 110 down the M1 while the driver had one eye on the Simpsons Movie he had playing on the dash was probably the closest we came to anything like peril. Didnt even get bent over!

When we were waiting for the (delayed by really bad weather) ferry in the pissing rain and wind at Dover the other week I was watching some lads attempting to get a lift from the trucks heading into the port. They were getting absolutely, totally, royally fucking soaked and hadn't thought to leave their rucksacks under cover so all their stuff was getting absolutely, totally, royally fucking soaked too. They gave up after about half an hour to seek shelter in the port building which was still bloody cold and wouldn't have been a great place to try to dry out before having to face the inevitability of venturing, shivering and numb, back into the gale to be ignored some more.

I thought of you Will as I turned up the air conditioning in the car and sipped my espresso. At least you'll have learnt a valuable lesson........HITCHING IS SHIT.

[SA Chris]

Oh well Will, nothing ventured, nothing ventured.

At least you gave it a shot.

12 years ago, a friend (of Fraudini's) and her boyfriend broke down somewhere on the roads of mid Germany; their car, a goner.

They had been arguing.  The atmosphere was bad.  It was getting late.

They started to hitch, a car stopped.  The girl took an immediate dislike to the man driving, he was alone in the car.  She refused to get a lift w/ this man.  Her boyfriend in an act of ultimate cuntitude he would live to rue, abandoned her.

She returned to their broken down car, locked herself in, kipped safely for the night.

The boyfriend was driven away to be viciously beaten and raped.



The couple are no longer together.

[Jaspersharpe]

That's the harshest case of Karma I've heard for a while.

[Houdini]

I don't hitch unless utterly desperate.


I've had cars stop and zoom off as I trot to the car too many times.  Why fucking bother w/ games like that?  So little fun to be milked from it.

[SA Chris]

One of the most cockish things in the world to do.

Only times I have hitched is when being out on the hills and coming down in a different place to where you went up. Stangely, more folk are prepared to pick you up if you have skis, snowboard or full rucksack with axes.
