Romeo Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I only pick up female Hitchhikers between the ages of 18-30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I met a guy in Zagreb while travelling who claimed to have hitch-hiked there from London. Not entirely sure I believed him, but a decent effort if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I hitched from Aberdeen to Brindisi on Italy's heel once. And from Marrakech to Amsterdam. Oh, and from Vancouver to Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Me and a mate hitchhiked from Melbourne to Sydney. Ended up getting a lift of some German boy who's English was, what could only be described as limited. It got a bit tedious after a few hundred miles. I got fed up trying to speak to him and slept in the back of his jeep, while my mate tried awkwardly to chat away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing (2) Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 In the early 80's when I was @16/17 I would hitch from Glasgow to Kintyre every few weeks. A bit of a bugger of a walk from the Centre to Dumbarton (best chance from there) but the lorry drivers knew me so fine. Now I am oop North I would not hesitate to try and get anywhere with lifts. The Ferry hours are well known so you just need to time it. On occasion I do pick up hitchers, just depends on how much bags they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I've picked up hitchhikers a couple of times when I was driving south from Aberdeen, back in the '90s. Both times it was a couple of foreign lads - Czechs and Poles. Unfortunately there were no hot lady hitchhikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Did Philpy not pick up a Pedo or something once?Nah he befriended a guy in a pub who was in court for some reason. After a few bricks thrown through his window it dawned on him that the guy was a nonce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Best to steer clear of this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man of Aran Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I walked past a hitchhiker on my way to work the other day. 50 odd year old hippy-looking woman standing at the bottom of my street, which I thought was a fucking bizarre spot for a hitchhiker seeing as it is a fairly quiet residential area. Next day and there she was again, same time, exact same spot. Either she was waiting there all night or the stingy b*****d just didn't fancy getting the bus to work.

Shotgun Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I did a lot of hitch-hiking back in '80s and early '90s. Covered a lot of western Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia. Met some great people, saw a lot of places I might not have otherwise and if you didn't 'have' to be anywhere by a particular time, it was a great way to get around. I rarely had to wait more than a few minutes although I did once get stuck in Ardrossan (yeah, I know). Never got offered sex though, which if every other hitch-hiker on the planet is to believed, makes me quite exceptional. Or maybe just ugly.
