Take care when reading the maps on boards in the city centre. Most are not orientated with North upwards. Instead, they are orientated with the forward direction upwards, which can take some getting used to.
== Hitching Out Hitchhiking out ==
Many drivers are friendly towards hitchhikers, although they often behave defensively at first. A sign with a city name works well, and so does 'M1 NORTH'/'M1 SOUTH'.
To go to Manchester, use the A57 road. It's a small road, but it's fast, beautiful and easy to get a ride. Go to the junction of Fulwood Road and Manchester Road, shown in photo '''1)''' and the map above. It is the A57 and is in the Broomhill district. From the city centre, Broomhill is a 30 minute walk.
*First get to Sheffield University (note: NOT Sheffield Hallam University). From the cathedral in the city centre, follow the tramlines uphill for 10 minutes. You will pass various bars and restaurants (this is West Street), and then the tramlines turn a sharp corner at the university's tram stop. Walk towards the university complex (the large buildings on the 'other' side of the tramline, you can't miss them).
* From Sheffield University walk west along Whitham Road for 15 minutes. It's best if you ask someone around the university for '''Broomhill''': they will point you in the right direction. This is a bit difficult to describe, so asking people is important. Check the map above.
* Once you get to the shopping street in Broomhill, look for the SPAR supermarket. The hitchhiking spot is about 50 metres further along the road from there, away from the city.
