'''Dieppe''' is a city in northern [[France]]. It is possible to hitch a truck going on the ferry to [[Newhaven]]. See [http://alongwayfromeden.blogspot.com/2008/12/newhaven-to-dieppe-that-elusive-hitch.html this link].

Cars pay per passenger so that makes it hard to get a free ride. Trucks can take 1 person but you have to meet the trucker outside the fenced in area. The jice guard told me at the ticket booth that it was very possible to hitchhike and he was quite friendly. There are 2 boats a day, one at 5h and also at 18h. They take abt 4 hours. Because I didn't meet truckers outside, I got to the port at 2:30am I decided to buy a ticket because the truckers were all inside. I bought a ticket at about 3:45 because they said the foot passagers closes at about 4:15 to get the little bus to go to the boat. The ticket was 25€ (€ not £) and I asked about a student/youth discount and he said oh yes its 20% off so i paid 20€ and never asked for student ID. So all in all it's very possible according to hitchhike but youo need to find truckers before they go in and at least for the 5am ferry I recommend getting there before 2:30am or 3am, maybe even around 10pm?
