'''Cambridge''' is a university city in the region [[East (England)|East Anglia]] of [[England]] in the [[United Kingdom]].
==Hitching Out==
Hitchhiking out of the city is pretty simple, there are park and ride services that connect the main city centre bus station with car parks by the entrance to the [[M11 (England)|M11]] motorway.
===North towards [[Peterborough]], [[Leicester]]=== For heading north on the M11 (towards [[Peterborough]], [[Leicester]] and ''The North''), get the Madingly Road Park and Ride service all the way to the end. From here it is around 15 minutes walk to the entrace to the motorway north.===South towards [[London]]===
For heading south on the M11 (towards [[London]] and the M25 motorway, get the Trumpington park and ride service all the way to the end car park. From there it is about 5 minutes walk to a large [[lay-by]] where cars can stop (just before the roundabout) - it's hugely recommended either having a sign saying London, or hitch on the southbound [[slip road]], but it is quite a fast and dangerous place to hitch (nowhere for cars to stop).
===East towards [[Ipswich]]===To head onto the A14, the best bet if you don't want to take a park and ride to Teversham is to walk on Newmarket Road trying to thumb a ride. Its a long walk to the A14, so you should get a ride before getting there, and if you don't then maybe your luck is dispersing for the time, and you should take a break.
==Trivia==
[[User:Whisperingofthestars]] has hitched out of Cambridge many of times to London (latest March 2008). Trumpington has taken 10 minutes of waiting. Other than this, from the north of the city, it can take a little longer. If possible and hitching from above '''Cambridge''', try to get a ride to the south where you'll find more traffic going to London and beyond.
==Places to stay==According to the book 'Places To Hide', a good place to stay (for 4-6 hours!) is ''The Hut'' in Sheep's Green, which is next to Lammas Land. There is also a shelter called Jimmy's Night Shelter, just off Mill Road on the A10.__NOTOC__
