[[Image:manchesterroadsheffield.jpg|thumb|350px|Photo '''1)''': Manchester Road. This photo is taken about 50 metres past Somerfield supermarket. Cars using the white-signposted road on the right are going towards Manchester: either hitchhike from here, or walk along this road until you find a more suitable place.]]
To go to Manchester, use the A57 road. It's a small road, but it's fast, beautiful and easy to get a ride. Go to the junction of Fulwood Road and Manchester Road, shown in photo '''1)''' and the [[liftershalte]].info map above. It is the A57 and is in the Broomhill district. From the city centre, Broomhill is a 30 minute walk.
*First get to Sheffield University (note: NOT Sheffield Hallam University). From the cathedral in the city centre, follow the tramlines uphill for 10 minutes. You will pass various bars and restaurants (this is West Street), and then the tramlines turn a sharp corner at the university's tram stop. Walk towards the university complex (the large buildings on the 'other' side of the tramline, you can't miss them).
