'''Cambridge''' is a university city in the region [[East (England)|East Anglia]] of [[England]] in the [[United Kingdom]].
== Hitchhiking 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 (EnglandGB)|M11]] motorway.
=== North-West 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.
From the town center walk out north-west until you reach the Huntigdon Road. You can hitch the whole Huntigdon Road as there is enough place for cars to stop on the bikepath. But it may be easier if you walk about 1 mile until you reach a small restaurant on the left side where cars have really good space to pull over (and they not taking the risk to injure a student on a bicycle).
=== North towards [[Ely]], [[King's Lynn]], [[Dersingham]] [[road : , A10]] ===
Go to the Milton Park & Ride (it has a huge Tesco's supermarket..most people know it and should be able to point you in the right direction from the centre of the town). You can walk here without taking a bus quite easily, it's around a thirty minute walk from the centre. Along the way are two Co-op's, one often has amazing amounts of food in the bins, which will be on your righthand side. Keep walking and you'll pass something like a science park and then you'll see directions for Ely, A10 and so forth. Great space to stand. You could get a ride all the way to King's Lynn if you're patient (about an hour and a half's ride) but surely Ely will take you no longer than ten minutes waiting for.
