I'm a student and hitchhiker from Guildford near London in the UK, and currently live in Sheffield. I'm was part of the committee that runs Bummit - a society at the university of sheffield that runs the word's biggest student charity hitchhike with hundreds of participants annually. I'm really passionate about hitchiking and now use have used it as my main form of long distance traffic within the UK.
Here I will keep a list of all the hitches I have ever made, mainly for my benefit but it may be of interest to you
