I travelled thru Britain in 1975 using my thumb, cheap trains, and staying youth hostels. While hitchhiking was safer then, my friend and I still had a very frightening encounter, hence the change to trains and buses. We met some wonderful people throughout our journey and made some great friends at all the hostels. The other great thing about the hostels is there is staff to tell you about the best and cheapest places to visit, eat, or see. I believe they are still really cheap and cheerful and certainly beat the uncertainty of sleeping outdoors.
