The slip road to the M621 is right next to the M1 south slip road. Unfortunately this is an even hairier place to stand cos ur pretty much on the road. But it is possible to get lifts if ur feeling daring. Alternatively u could get a bus to Hartshead moor services – might not really be worth it if ur just going to Manchester cos the bus all the way there wouldn’t cos much more.

Walk north up Otley rd (this road starts in town and goes past the universities –its called woodhouse lane, then headingley lane, then otley rd). It’s a bit of a walk but you can start trying to hitch anywhere after the big roundabout near Lawnswood and Boddington hall. People driving in this direction are likely to be in a good mood, so chances of getting a lift are high.

You can walk out of town to oakwood. Go up roundhay rd, along Wetherby rd (A58) up to the roundabout with the ring rd, then try to hitch north up whetherby rd. Or you can catch a bus from the city centre (12, 13, 13a) to oakwood. Another option, which is more expensive but potentially more reliable, is to get a bus to Wetherby from the bus station and hitch from there.
