  • in the video I wanted to test out whether people still pick up hitch hikers in 2024.
    I didn't have a plan as to where I wanted to go other than to get to Cornwall and wild camp for a few days.

    I've picked up a couple of hitchhikers in Cornwall / Hampshire before - mainly because they didn't look smelly or like weirdos! :) They were both really nice and interesting people. One of them was going to a raft race in Cornwall and I ended up joining them for it for a few hours and it was a brilliant detour!

      Awesome, did you take part in the raft race?
      Hopefully I didn’t look smelly or like a weirdo!

      @@TheOptimisticAdventurer I helped them launch the raft but it got me interested in crazy raft races and I've taken part in Paddle Round The Pier in Brighton a few times building all sorts of silly car / boat rafts. You can see some of those races on my channel.
      You don't seem smelly / weird, which is why you got picked up, I'm sure. Plus, in the south west people are more used to seeing nice hitchhikers I think. Not sure you would have as much luck in London 😂

    Interesting topic, I've never actually tried it, but 30 seconds might be a European record 😅😅

      In 2012 I hitched over 450 miles with a full sized wooden Zebra named Stephanie, was a great experience.

      I got the train due to time constraints. I’m definitely going to do more.

    Gotta love a public toilet wash. All part of the adventure.

      These were so clean too! I got there before the morning rush! Thanks for commenting.
