Welcome to the site :)
Just so you know, people take spelling pretty seriously here so I would check a post before posting it, never fear though it can be edited out. (If you are indeed dyslexic as your name suggests then I recommend a spell checker)

I'm from the UK and my plan is not set in stone, it's always changing, myself and a friend have planned locations routes and methods.

I'm also from the uk, the few bits i have worked out for my plan is in my profile, but as you will see and hear from our friends accross the pond, you will see that a plan will always change, get updated, be scraped for something else, then brought back.

The main things you will need to have, is your BOB and some form of weapon, with those you can then build towards where you will bug out to, who you want on your team and how you will survive when you and your team gets there.

Now regarding spelling i would recomened double and triple checking before posting as you can get alot of abuse for getting it wrong (1/2 words are not to bad but anymore and you will be ripped to bits). But the reason for that is if you cant prove you are a intelegant person with a good grasp on English then it means your a- to young to be on the site or b- that your either a troll or a piss taker who shouldnt be here, now i have problems with spelling and mainly use my phone (without a spell checker) but i realy put the effort in to makeing sure i'm spelling things right.

P.s. Avoid txt speak as not only will the spelling police will tear you a new one, but so will everyone else as its just a moronic form of writeing, thats only for chavs and all the people who are meat snacks come Zday, prove your not one of these and you will get alot from this site.

But if you prove you are a meat snack then all you will get is ALOT of abuse and then banned from the site

To be honest, it really comes down to where you live in the UK. For example, I live in Lisburn in Northern Ireland. There aren't many safe places to go and those places which are safe are difficult to get to since the Lisburn and Belfast areas are heavily populated.

However, there are many shopping centres to grab supplies, clothing, etc, at the risk of being attacked by zombies. Also, if you were to make it to one of the safe locations, then there is a very low chance that you will ever be attacked.

Then we have areas of Yorkshire where there are no towns, but a series of small villages tightly packed together. These could count as towns due to the small area and have the complete opposite problems with larger towns. There will be less people and zombies to worry about, but finding supplies will be harder due to lack of large shops.

You must also take into account that there are different ways to enter into towns and cities. For example, some cities may have a motorway and several main roads leading in and out of it whilst smaller towns may ony have a few main roads and streets. Meeting locations are also important in a town. If you want to meet your friends when an outbreak starts, you have to make sure that the area will not be densely populated with zombies or other hazards.

Weapons are always easy enough to find. You can simply check your garden sheds for items such as rakes or hoes. You are also at an advantage if you play a sport which involves a type of stick/bat. Eg: Hockey or Cricket as these can be used as weapons.

For a BOB, I would advise you check the Bug-Out Bag thread for more advice on what to put in it.

Overall, it would be difficult to make a single plan for many towns in the Uk due to differences of location and population density. It would be much easier to make a single plan for your town, then post it so others can edit it to suit their own town or city.

Any plans for the UK? Leave!

Hint; nowhere in Britain is more than three days stiff walk to the coast. . .

Britain is 53rd of 250 sovereign states for population density against the nearby countries like France 98th, Spain 112th or Ireland at 143rd.

Well I didn't know that. A quick googleing tells me the furthest you can get from the sea in britain is 72 miles. An island indeed!

"Well I didn't know that. A quick googleing tells me the furthest you can get from the sea in britain is 72 miles. An island indeed!"
Given the significance of Britain's maritime history and its effect on the world it's quite astonishing that hardly anyone in Britain remembers we live on a f**king island. In my lifetime the British have turned their backs on the sea and come to believe we are somehow joined to Europe in some physical sense.

This is not the case and the channel tunnel is a tiny triple mined* wormhole of a connection - * you didn't think the Brits and the french would build something like that without being able to close it in a hurry did you? The English end is mined with french controlled demolition charges, the french end with British ones and NATO controls the ones in the middle!

But as I was saying in less than 50 years we have disposed of our ship building capacity, gotten rid of our merchant fleet, sold our fishing fleet to Spain, Portugal and Russia and have pared the royal navy down to a (small) frigate fleet. When I was young any town or village near any body of water had a Sea Cadet unit which was a kind of boy scouts for kids interested in a career at sea (the SC's are just about hanging on as a charity)

The only bright side to this is the boom in marine leisure which to me, seems to indicate that Britons love of the sea is irrepressible and something that cannot be 'conditioned' out of us no mater what those wishing to steer our culture would want.

So yea, I don't think all of the above 'just happened' by its self . . . .

Demolition charges in the tunnel? Another googling is in order methinks, that sounds interesting.
Personally, I don't love the sea. I'm awed by it, but its just too damn big, wet, full of nasty stuff, salty and cold for my liking.
I recently watched a documentary about the history of Britain's navy and how we conquered the world with it. Was pretty interesting but i can't remember the name,

I'm not expecting any official sources to divulge. I'm assuming you heard of it somehow, or did you just arrive at the conclusion that this must be the case?

I was told by one of the engineers, of course he could have been pulling me pisser . . . . but it was designed and built during the cold war so it's more likely than not.
