Alternatively, from the city centre take bus 51, 52, 60 or 120 to Broomhill (cost: £1-£1.50, 50p on all Stagecoach buses and the number 80 if you have a student card). Once you leave the bus stop ask around for the Somerfield supermarket, get to the supermarket and keep walking to find the hitchhiking spot.
The junction itself is not bad ideal for hitchhiking, but being on a corner with traffic lights and a box junction, where the cars waiting to turn right up the fork are not easily accessible by a pedestrian. A much better option would be to start walking along the A57 Manchester Road itself for a short way. Head up past Ashdell girls school, and you've probably gone far enough here. Be careful though, in school hours, there are about 10 minutesa million chelsea tractors parked on the double yellows here, and you won't get seen. Further down the road there are better stopping places for the cars, however a lot of this is uphill and can be tiring.
The waiting time is short, usually 15-45 minutes, and many cars drive directly to Manchester or [[Stockport]].
