==Islands==
[[Jersey]] and [[Guernsey]] are more detailed on their respective pages.
 
===Sark===
There are no cars on '''Sark''' so there is absolutely no means to hitch this exclusively pedestrianized little island, the ferry is though pretty expensive so someone might be willing to try (if possible) to hitch a boat ride with a fisherman. Hitching the ferry wouldn't be a solution as they only carry foot passenger and makes their money out of it. Daily return from [[Guernsey]] is about 22 pounds ''(by end 2007)''².
===Alderney===
'''Alderney''' is the northernmost and most remote island of the group, it is only serviced by seasonal foot passenger ferry services from France of or by air. So hitching to/out of the island is quite an impossible task. The island is also pretty tiny (5km long x 2.5km large) so walking around it would be no problem whatsoever. ==Links==Companys servicing , but there are a few cars on the Islands:*''By Sea''**³[http://www.manche-iles-express.com MancheIles ferry] from Normandy**¹[http://wwwisland.condorferries.co.uk England-Islands]**²[http://www.sarkshipping.info/ Guernsey-Sark]**³[http://www.hdferries.com/ France-Islands]*''By Air''**[http://www.blueislands.com Blue Islands]**[http://www.aurigny.com/ Aurigny]

Cars and bicycles are banned from Herm, so hitching is only reduced to assessing the [[Isle opportunity of Man]] and some other [[Europe|european]] or [[France|french]] citiesgetting a ride to the island with a fisherman.
