Of the strange religious man?
No, I jumped out at some traffic lights near Chester and got the bus home.
He would liked to have dropped me at his back door though!
Of the strange religious man?
The second one!Two guys (separate occasions) had no real idea where they were going. Oh....
I dropped one off at the first exit for Birmingham....i still didn't know (neither did he of course) where he was headed.
Can't remember...i think he was headed well north, can't even remember where I dropped him off, it was probably 40 years ago.The second one!
I can't agree. I don't think the risk to drivers or hitchers is any greater than it was forty years ago. All that's changed is lurid reporting of the nastiness of modern life by the Press, and our willingness to be gulled by it.Sad but true! There's to much dodgyness around now to risk it! Transport companies don't allow passengers for insurance reasons, but even so, I wouldn't chance it
Ostend to the Albanian border in 1973, via Saltzburg, Rijeka and Split. Then the lifts dried up so I hopped on a train to Istanbul and beyond. Some of the people who picked me up had intentions that turned out not to be entirely honourable.
Maybe don't try to replicate all the types of generosity you were on the receiving end of in your younger hitching years?.....
I'm a bit miffed that I can't repay some of the generosity of strangers that I enjoyed when I was younger. Hitchers have disappeared.
