==== Hitching to ====
[[Maidstone Services]] is the only services a good service station located along the M20, at exit 8, it however, there is most likely also a large service station just before the spot to reach when hitching towards exit for the M20tunnel, called "Stop 24", at J11.[[User: Theinefficienthitchhiker| Theinefficenthitchhiker]] had success here twice with people going across the channel. From there, If you can show get a sign or ask van/ truck going across you avoid most of the peopleproblems concerning cars taking hitchhikers across as well. Remind them that the Tunnel crossing is paid per car.
At the tunnel entrance directly, of course logic would show that if you try to hitch at the booth itself it is more likely that they will boot you out of there. So keep discreet and away of any of this potential trouble. The best spot seems to be at the exit 11a, coming from the Ashford Road on-ramp and standing along the road just before being beneath the viaduct. There is a wide shoulder and with a sign, you can be seen by the cars coming from the motorway and they can pull aside if they wish.
