== Hitchhiking out ===== North towards [[Preston]], [[Scotland]], West towards [[Liverpool]] =======Option 1===={{Coords|53.4762|-2.2677}}<br>Walk on '''Manchester'Regent Road'' (in the west of the city) until you get to Salford. There is a city in big petrol station with many slip roads, which might look attractive, but the [[North West smaller petrol station (Englandon the left side of the road)offers a more convenient spot for drivers to stop, and also allows drivers that don't enter the station to pull over.====Option 2===={{Coords|North West]] of [[England]]53.4800|-2.2835}}<br>Alternatively, you could keep on walking along Regent Road until you get to the "roundabout" and get to the shoulder on {{Mgb|602}}. Getting there is a little complicated since it's not very pedestrian-friendly. Technically, you'll be on the motorway, but it's right behind a traffic light so traffic goes slow - a police car passed by without batting an eye. Make sure to have a sign, since it's not clear which direction you could be going.

== Hitching Out =East towards [[Leeds]], [[Hull]] =======Option 1====Travelodge Manchester Birch {{Mgb|62}}. Train to Mills Hill - Oldham Rd - Wood S|t - Heywood Old Rd OR Bus to Langley Lane. Walk White Ln (which goes over the motorway M62), and you will be at the Travelodge Manchester Birch M62 , where you can hitch a ride down the M62 to Leeds or Hull.

=== North towards [[Preston]], [[Scotland]], West towards [[Liverpool]] =Option 2====Walk on ''Regent Another option is to walk down the A56 (Bury New Road'' (in ) and wait at the west exit ramp of the city) until ring road merging with the M60. Alternatively you can take the tram to Prestwich to get to Salfordthere. There is  === South Towards Birmingham and Bristol =======Option 1====Catch a big petrol station with many slip roadsbus to Whythenshaw (the 101, which might look attractive104 or 105 from Piccadilly Gardens in the city centre. Just ask the driver to shout for you at the Wilbraham road junction if you're unsure where to get off) and get to Princess Parkway, but this is the start of the M56. From here you can head to the smaller petrol station (M6, better if you are heading south since you are a few junctions south then if you was on the left side of M602. here you will see a petrol staton immediatley befor the slip road) offers , I've always had a more convenient spot quick ride from here, mainly for drivers to stopfilling their cars up, and also allows drivers that don't enter the station a bus stop in front of you for cars to pull oversafely.[httpEDIT://mapsDec 2016.googleThis seems to refer to the Texaco gas station pretty close to the sliproad to the motorway.de/?qWhen I approached drivers there I was sent away by a member of staff ====Option 2=salford+england&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Salford,+Greater+You don't necessarily need to be on the M56.

It took 10 minutes getting a ride out to the M6. ====Option 3=k&z=19&layer=c&cbll={{Coords|53.476173,4424|-2.266997&panoid=GRSF-jBUkMYsCCS1b9gQ8A&cbp=12,125.22,,0,102440}}<br>There is this bus stop.46 This It really is a link great place to get south from; I've used it six times and have never had to wait more than 1 hour 15 - but it usually takes much less. One time it only took 90 seconds to the spotget a lift as far as [[Birmingham]].

=== East towards [[Leeds]], [[Hull]] =Option 4====Take bus 167 {{Coords|53.3987|-2.2656}}<br>After trying unsuccesfully to get a ride from Piccadilly Gardensthe positions mentioned above, Lever Street/Dale Street (Stop E) in central Manchester, and get off I walked to a bus stop at stop: Birch, Heywood Old Road/Langley Lane (journey time approx. 25 minutes)the A560. The service It is hourly (more info located between two roundabouts, a bit before the roundabout leading on times from: (http://www.traveline.org.uk/index.htm). You should be able to see the services when approaching M56. There is an exit for an industrial estate in front of the bus stop. When you get off the bus, walk which a decent amount of space for drivers to slow down Whittle Lane (which goes and drive over the motorway M62), and you will be at the services, where you can hitch I stayed to wait for a driver. Only took me 5 minutes to get a ride down all the M62 way to Leeds or Hull[[Birmingham]]. The bus costs around £2.50. You Buses 104 and 11A can get cheap coach tickets from Megabus or National Express funfare (they have websites) where you can get trips from between £3-6 if you book in advance. So I would only take this hitching route if you are on a low budget or traveling last minuteall the way there.
