Jass hitched the tunnel entrance in August 2010. Stand at the split off from the two roads behind a kind of arrow indicator. Staff can't see you so well and cars are slowing down to figure out which lane they need to be in. Have a sign for wherever you're going (UK and underneath your destination) and then FREE / GRATIS/ GRATUIT! Jass waited twenty minutes and a direct ride to Cambridge. Perfect and so much quicker than the ferry. Just be careful and discreet. Remember there will be other hitchers here and we don't want to attract bad attention!
[[user:Grégoire|Grégoire]] hitched the Eurotunnel in September 2010 from a service area on the A26/E15. He isn't sure it is the fastest way to cross the Channel, as he wasn't successful the first day he tried (a Saturday): English people seemed to be very afraid of taking a stranger in their car to cross a border. He was luckier the next day, for he had to wait only for 15 minutes before having a ride leading him exactly to the centre of London. Still he thinks it's an easy way to cross the Channel by the Eurotunnel given the fact you won't have to deal with the staff (Eurotunnel has an anti-hitchhiker policy).
