Don't press the traffic light button constantly to stop traffic and get a warning from a [[police]]man like [[User:Whisperingofthestars|Jason]] did. But that's just common sense.

===South towards [[London]]===
To travel south (towards London) a great spot for hitchhiking is the turnoff from the Hardwick Roundabout onto the A10, whereby standing by the pedestrian crossing with a thumb out can normally get a ride within 15 minutes as there is a lay-by right by it. However, because most of the traffic is local traffic most of the rides will be to nearby towns like Downham Market and Ely, although again these places are easy hitching out of.

===North===
For heading north find the turnoff onto the A47 westbound (signposted Wisbech) and hitch before the dual-carriageway. Make sure you don't take Wisbech has a history of being a ride pretty terrible place to Wisbech thoughhitch in, as it wouldn't so avoiding that would be such a great place to try and find a rideideal.
===East, [[Norwich]]===
To head east (towards Norwich) find the turnoff to the A47 eastbound (signposted Norwich). There is a lay-by a few metres onto this road.
Or else, for a more countryside-ey route, with nothing but pure local traffic, take the Knight's Hill roundabout exit onto the A148 (from the Hardwick hitch towards Hunstanton, it'll be the second roundabout).

==Accommodation and Sleep==
There is a youth hostel near the Saturday Market Place, but it is a bit pricey (as with most youth hostels in the country). Otherwise, [http://www.couchsurfing.com/ CouchSurfing] is an option, as the streets of King's Lynn are not usually the safest of places at night.
There are different woodlands around King's Lynn, but the much more peaceful area is towards Hunstanton. In this direction there are miles of woodlands in Sandringham which would satisfy any wild camper's wilderness cravings (except for the noise from the main road), then further along and past Hunstanton there is a beautiful stretch of coastline, called the North Norfolk coast. Along here you can find some of the most deserted beaches in England. There are abandoned buildings which can be used as shelters on Old Hunstanton beach (walk in the direction of Holme) and on Thornham beach (on the island).
