'''{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}''' is a city in [[England]]. The city is wholly located on Portsea Island in the Solent, which is connected to mainland England by three road bridges and a railway bridge. The city is famous for its naval base (with HMS Victory and Mary Rose open for visitors) and Gunwharf Quays Shopping Centre.
The city is not of the nicest in Britain, and hitch-hiking out of it seems to be difficult − perhaps because of a lot of antisocial behaviour in the city.

===North/West/East out of city===
Theoretically, there is a good place to stand right at the start of ''M275'' motorway, by the continental fery port where A3 splits - there is a wide place to stop (about the entire lane of hatched markings), a lot of traffic and a speed limit of 50mph.
However, due to a lot of antisocial behaviour in the city and complete paranoia of the city's citizens, the waits may be long. It may be better to ask someone personally at a petrol station nearby. If the driver is going towards [[Brighton]], and you are going towards [[Southampton]], and them to drop you off at Farlington Services, off the Portsmouth (E) exit (A2030), where [[M27(GB){{Mgb|M27]] 27}} becomes [[A27(GB)|A27]]. It is far easier to hitch-hike from outside Portsmouth.

==Accommodation = By ferry to [[France]] ([[St. Malo]], [[Le Havre]], [[Cherbourg]]), [[Channel Islands]] and Sleep[[Spain]] ([[Bilbao]]) ==={{infoneeded|Information required}}According to the port's website [http://www.portsmouth-port.co.uk/ferry_passengers/offers], there are three ferries operating to France, the Channel Islands, and Spain. They are Condor [http://www.condorferries.co.uk/home.html], LD [http://www.ldlines.co.uk/], and Britany [http://www.brittany-ferries.co.uk/offers]. All of them appear to have different prices for different numbers of passengers, so it seems unlikely to be able to hitch a ride in a car. ==Other Useful InfoNomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{infoneeded|Information requirednomadwiki}}
