→Hitchhiking out: West to Dartmoor added
=== North to Bristol ===
Exeter Services seem to be rarely frequented by people heading North, it seems better to walk ~15min to Junction 29 although there's little space to pull over near the on ramp.
Honiton road is likely your best bet, though Jass waited over an hour there last time. Having a sign for Collompton Services could be the best bet here. From there, you're golden. Careful about getting out at Gordano Services (just around Bristol if you're heading past it)...it always takes forever to get out, but particularly going north/west to Wales. Anywhere on the M4 is fantastic for Wales, even if it means going back on yourself a little.
Alphington Road is another option....while it could take a while, there's a lot of traffic taking the south exit to go north too. Take the last petrol station and make a large sign (the entrance to the motorway isn't worth checking out, very little visibility).
=== North East to London ===
While some people might go to London via the M5/M4 avoiding the switchover around Bristol and taking the A30 seems to be a better option. It is possible to hitch out from around M5 junction 29 but there isn't much space to pull over anywhere.
=== West to Dartmoor ===
Take Alphington Road all the way to the roundabout / flyover. Cross underneath it and you'll find a road on your right heading to Dartmoor/Cornwall. A lot easier to get to than Exeter Services unless you happen to be up north, and everyone who takes this road is going to be going at least to Dartmoor, if not further. Whiddon Down and Okehampton offer tremendous wild hikes.
