== Hitchhiking out ==
=== North HITCHING NORTH===
(Toward Kaikoura, Picton, The West Coast, or Nelson.)
If it is a nice day (not too hot or raining) the best spot is directly opposite Woodend Methodist Church. In case of hot or wet weather hitch from the St Barnabas Anglican Church - there is a small roof structure that can provide sun or rain shelter.
Note if : If you are headed highway 1 to Picton via Kaikoura and your ride is going h7 toward Hanmer Springs you are best to get out at Amberley (best spot is near the Charles Upham statue) as the intersection of highway 1 and h7 is not a good spot to hitch North from.
=== South HITCHING SOUTH===
Take a bus to Hornby "Hub", hitch from opposite Denton Park. Or bus to Templeton and hitch from the Trents Road intersection.
DO NOT accept a ride to Rolleston (Rolly) or Burnhan, they are in the fast zone.
=== West HITCHING WEST===
Bus to near the Caltex Russely at the Yaldhurst Road/Russley Road intersection - this is at the start of State Highway 73 but there is a really good area for cars to pull over not far up the 73 where it's goes from two lanes to one and before they get up to highway speed.
