The '''Channel Islands ''' are formed by the independant independent islands of '''Alderney''', '''Sark''', '''[[Guernsey]]''' and '''[[Jersey]]''' and are located off the coast of [[France ]] (Brittany and Normandy).
[[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 independant 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 accesible accessible by passenger ferry from either [[Guernsey]] or [[Jersey]] and sometimes from [[France]] during the summer.  There is no car in '''Sark''' so there is absolutely no means to hitch this exclusively pedestrianised 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.  '''Alderney''' is the northernmost and remote island of the group, it is only serviced by seasonnal foot passenger ferry services from France of by air. So hitching to/out of the island is an impossible task. The island is also pretty tiny so walking around it would be no problem whatsoever.
