''Adventure #6:'' '''Final taste of freedom?''', August-September 2007
''Adventure #7:'' '''The TT course''', January 2008 ''Distance travelled:'' '''10030km10089km''' of which 5235km 5294km hitchhiking alone, 2869km with one other hitchhiker, and 1926km hitchhiking in a group of three; done 9450km 9509km by road, 580km by rail, and not hitchhiked by sea or air... yet
''Longest lift:'' I think it's '''352km''', through Germany from [[Inntal Ost]] ([[A93]] services) to [[Pforzheim Nord]] ([[A8]] services), September 2006 - and by the goodest good golly gosh were we grateful for it
''Longest journey in 24 hours:'' '''1042km''', [[Rome]], Italy, to [[Lausanne]], Switzerland, August 2006
''Countries hitchhiked (earliest first):'' [[Belgium]], [[Germany]], [[Netherlands]], [[Poland]], [[Lithuania]], [[Latvia]], [[Estonia]], [[Sweden]], [[Denmark]], [[Switzerland]], [[Italy]], [[Austria]], [[United Kingdom]], [[France]], [[Czech Republic]], [[Slovakia]], [[Ireland]], [[Isle of Man]]
''Most useful lift:'' Gabor the Hungarian, who picked us up at Pforzheim Nord and didn't care where he was going - he wanted to be a personal taxi service. So we got him to take us to a mate's house in [[Kelkheim]], 177km away. Although neither of us trusted him, and he tried to abduct my travelling partner, it was one hell of a useful lift
I don't like hitchhiking alone as much as I like it with someone else, so if you're also interested in doing some of these trips then let me know!
