The idea is to get to the checkpoint and not be last.
That's how it's worked previously.
I thought this, unbelievably generous! Imagine bumping into some random person whilst filling up at Acklam Tesco "excuse me, you wouldn't mind taking me to Calais would you?"
In the 1960s when hitchhiking was a thing that sort of stuff did happen regularly. Age of innocence. Seems Canada still have it.I thought this, unbelievably generous!

Yeah course mate jump in
They've spent the vast majority of the time hitch hiking? That's much more interesting in my book.
There was a similar thing in ep2 where one of the teams car broke down and we never saw what happened next, they just arrived at the checkpoint. Presume they got rescued by the producers in order to keep the show going?
Half agree with this, been 3 episodes of hitchhiking so far. Also the fact that the checkpoints are tiny villages makes the race to checkpoint bit a bit boring. Last 2 series the checkpoints have been plush hotels in big cities so there has been the added drama of getting lost
That's because of the bizarre choice of first two checkpoints being in places where everyone pretty much had to take the same routes/same ferries. No chance for any organic dispersion.
Might help if you take a BBC film crew with you.
