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.

The '''Channel Islands''' are Crown Dependencies of the Windsor Royal Family of the [[United Kingdom]], these independent states are organized according to an old Middle Age status of ''Bailiwick''. The '''Channel Islands''' are formed by the independent islands of '''Alderney''', '''Sark''', '''[[Guernsey]]''' and '''[[Jersey]]''' and are located off the coast of [[France]] (Brittany and Normandy).
__NOTOC__
[[Guernsey]] and [[Jersey]] are the 2 biggest islands of the group and are serviced by daily ferries to [[France]] ([[St-Malo]]) and [[England]] ([[Poole]] ''summer only'', [[Weymouth]] and [[Portsmouth]]) as well as by air. ''Alderney'' and ''Sark'' are independent islands within the Bailiwick of [[Guernsey]], ''Alderney'' is reachable by air from the other islands or from [[England]] and by passenger ferry during the summer only from [[France]]. ''Sark'' on the other hand is only accessible by passenger ferry from either [[Guernsey]] or [[Jersey]] and sometimes from [[France]] during the summer.

[[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)''. ===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, but there are a few cars on the island.
