==To [[Tauranga]], Cambridge==
If you find your way to the start of SH1 there is a very good spot just after the intersection with Howell McKracken Ave. You can wait on Cambridge Rd on the other side of the road from Howell Avethe Mobil petrol station, the road goes from two to one lane there is a bus stop where cars can pull in and you easily get a lift towards TaurangaSouth. Don't accept rides to Tamahere.
To get to that intersection you should use Cambridge Road. If you go from the center of the city, don't try to go Grey Street and then along the SH1, there's no access for pedestrians on part of that way.
In other directions it's a really tough place to hitch from - semi suburban road for about 5km from one side of town to the other. Dunstan walked the full length with a big pack! The highway runs the west side of the town, it is easier to get a ride from there then it is from in the town itself.
