'''{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}''' is a city in [[England]]. The city is wholly located on Portsea Island in the Solent, which is connected to mainland England by three road bridges and a railway bridge. The city is famous for its naval base (with HMS Victory and Mary Rose open for visitors) and Gunwharf Quays Shopping Centre.
Theoretically, there is a good place to stand right at the start of ''M275'' motorway, by the continental fery port where A3 splits - there is a wide place to stop (about the entire lane of hatched markings), a lot of traffic and a speed limit of 50mph.
However, due to a lot of antisocial behaviour in the city and complete paranoia of the city's citizens, the waits may be long. It may be better to ask someone personally at a petrol station nearby. If the driver is going towards [[Brighton]], and you are going towards [[Southampton]], and them to drop you off at Farlington Services, off the Portsmouth (E) exit (A2030), where [[M27(GB){{Mgb|M27]] 27}} becomes [[A27(GB)|A27]]. It is far easier to hitch-hike from outside Portsmouth. === South by ferry to Fishbourne, [[Isle of Wight]] ===The easiest way to hitch to the Isle of Wight is on a car ferry run by Wightlink [http://wightlink.co.uk/]. As with most ferries, the cars are queued up in a lot before they are directed on to the ferry. The lot is easy to get to by foot, and although it is overrun with mean-looking workers in day-glo vests, nobody stopped [[user:Dr.Keith|Keith]] in Sept. 2011. People pay for the car and the price is the same for any number of passengers, so it shouldn't be tough to find a ride. You may even want to turn some rides down until you find one going to your destination.
