Problem with england's RVE
Dec 12 2009, 8:35 PM EST
Heres my problem: It's damn near the center of london, and area that isnt exactly lightly populatd. Plus, that means every1 in the north has to travel over 360 mils for a pssible meeting of survivors. I think it would be better instead of the center of london, we choose somewhere along the center of the U.K., still close to water and preferably with a functional castle and food and water accessible.I myself am in blackpool. I think somewhere rather unpopulated and far from bg cities as possible. Im tryin to find one such place, and the moment i do ill let u know. For any english people on this site, if ucan fid a place that fits the specifications, let m know. We'll work everything out.

"I see what you mean, well everyone should. Being in blackpool aint bad not as bad as being in the middle of sheffield, agh"The Peak District would be a good place. I';ve been to some sites that used to be like old settlements built on these hilltops. Dead narrow paths and not alot of them anyway. Do you find this valuable? |

How about The Lake District? I know its at the North of England, but it has a low population, plenty of areas to get fresh water from, all the mountainous and wooded areas would be perfect for defense, some areas have great farming land, and if an evacuation was needed its right near the Irish Sea so it would be possible to get boats to go to either the Isle of Man, Ireland or the South West coast of Scotland.

The problem with leaving city and town living and heading to somewhere really rural like the Lake District or the Brecon Beacons is: people have no clue about the land and how it acts. I've been in both of those areas and the weather can go from red hot summers day to torrential downpour in LITERALLY 10 MINUTES! I know because i've been caught out in it in both places and it really REALLY sh*ts you up when you realise that it could have killed you had you been a little further away from your destination. So while both of these places are pretty good, it might be worth learning some mountain or wilderness survival skills prior to the Z-poc hitting, and then consider where to meet up. Before any actual suggestions appear, how about a list of criteria for what would make a good location?Let me begin: Water Source Defensible Position Future Farming Vilages & Towns within 25 miles to Loot for: Tools and Supplies Hospital within 50 Miles to Loot for: Medical Supplies Builder's Yard or Builder's Merchant within 50 miles to loot for: Building Supplies for Defence, Tools, Portable Power Units Currently Operating Military/Army Installation within 75 miles to Loot for: Weapons & Ammunition Also consider: any business which sells Solar Power Units, Solar Water Heaters or Wood-Burning Stoves should be ransacked come the Z-Poc...electricity isn't going to last long and alternative heating and power sources would be helpful. If you can Loot any of these on your way to where we're going it'd be appreciated XD 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

As an additional:I liked LoneWanderer's idea of having an evacuation plan by boat. What about finding a coastal region with a good solid concrete dock and break, fuelling a couple of decent sized boats and having them ready nearby (I say nearby because you don't want an independant group stealing your getaway boatsd and not knowing about it until the sh*t hits the fan.). Or what about an Island? There are a good few around the British Coastline that are easily accessable by boat or ferry and an island would be quite defensible from Zombies...but not so from people (360 degree access points from the water by boat-raiders). And are there any islands out there which have an old castle on them perhaps? Do you find this valuable? |

The Lake District has plenty of those criteria listed. Although I don't think there are any operating Military installations in Cumbria, there are armed guards at Sellafield.

"As an additional:If the plan did go ahead for an RVE in the Lake District/Cumbria, there are many docks dotted along the coast, there is also a huge shipyard at Barrow which is near the Cumbria/Lancaster border. The only problem with the Barrow Shipyard is that Barrow is a pretty heavily populated area which could prove problematic if trying to avoid any zombies, but on the other hand it would be great to get many boats from and possibly supplies from Container Ships. The Isle of Man would be a good place to go, its not that far to travel by boat, and there is a castle on it called Peel Castle. Although I have never been myself, I have read about it and have been told about it and it does sound like a very defendable island from raiders etc. Do you find this valuable? |

I think we do!!! Right...where we meeting? Do you find this valuable? |

I think we do!!! Right...where we meeting?" I'd completely forgotten about gun shops, Theres about 3 different ones all within about 10 miles from where I live. Theres one about 3 miles from me which probably has the largest amount of weapons stocked, so getting guns from there would be good. Its at Cleator Moor if you want to take notes or anything. If you knew where to find it, Muncaster Castle would be a great place for defence, although I'm not sure if it would be good just for an initial meet-up. It does however have perfect access to fresh water and the coast is about 1 mile away. It would be a great place...unless you believe in ghosts :P Do you find this valuable? |

I went walking on haystacks last summer - moderate difficulty climb but few paths, and plenty of farms nearby as well as a river, freshwater lake and a small forest nearby. Very exposed though, albeit with a few more sheltered sections.

"i think cumbria is great but it receves to many visitors roughly 25mil a year so i sugest maybe rv there get guns then go to northumbria national park"It actually recieves about 12 million a year, and considering as Cumbria is the 3rd largest county in England it is incredibly easy to loose any persuers in the many mountains around the Lake District. The Northumbria National Park has a 1,030 km area, whereas Cumbria has a 6,768 km area so living in Cumbria would be easier to go unnoticed. The national park is also alot flatter than Cumbria so it would be harder to find places to hide or create easily defendable areas. Do you find this valuable? |

From Blackpool, north to Carlisle castle mate. It's in fantastic condition and as urban conurbations go Carlisle is a tiny city or large town to chop through. Close the doors, sanitize the compound and sit pretty, playing with your napalm recipes.

well our main advantage in europe are our forts and castles due to thousands of years of war. id have to look at a list of castles but maybe theres one on the isle of whight and i know theres a castle on brownsea (off the coast of bournemouth where the scouts started) but if you wanted isolation and scale with good farmland we could redevelop maiden castle. and for an evac point caernarfon (sorry but i think the uk has to stay united or 1000 years of tension will come bursting out so im including wales) or dover would be the best however dover could be vulnerable to european evacuees unless it started here but caernarfons not as developed. and as for the lake district if you could find a good place its great cos its all a military training zone so carlise would be under an "air umbrella" of one o our biggest raf places so there'd be less incoming zeds.
