{{infoneededAs with all [[Isle of Wight]] car ferries, people pay for the car and so extra passengers ride free. [[User:siinvincible|Information required}}Simon]] got a lift within 10 minutes stood on the edge of the port (just outside the gates, so as not to disturb the staff - there is a pavement there and drivers can see you easily). A bold and happy sign simply for "Isle of Wight" did the trick. Got offered a lift within 2 minutes even, but the family decided they didn't have enough room for me (I had a lot of stuff..). When we went to check in, the lady at the office asked how many passengers we were, but I guess simply for legal reasons to know how many people are on the ship (she didn't need to take information of the extra passenger or anything).

Alternatively, you could try walking along The Avenue/Bassett Avenue (A33) - although it has bus lanes in places, it's definitely worth giving it a try (especially in Southampton Common area, where there is one very wide lane each way. There is also a petrol station at the top of The Avenue at the on ramp for the {{Mgb|3}} and is an excellent spot for getting north towards London.
