escape route and plan for when the zombie hordes come...
74 Answers
do you have yours planned?
I just put my bins out and as i was out there i looked up and saw what appeared to be zombies in the distance... and it just made me think of this ...
what would you do if you looked out your window and your street was over run with them...?
would you do a runner and go fetch your family? or set up a proper hiding space and try to stay there as long as possible...? or just try to carry on as normal in darkness and quiet and hope they dont spot you through the curtains?
over the years ive come up with odd ideas, plans etc ... such as hide in the divan bed base...etc
i think my first move would be kitchen...then id go up into the loft...which unfortunately is tiny and probably full of pigeon crap...so id be laying down...but the problem is the ceiling is very low, so would be very easy for any zombie to push the hatch open...im 5'2" and i can easily reach...so id have to nail it shut...but that would make a noise...dilemma! haha
if i decided to leave ive considered going over the roofs...although that would only get you so far... can phone lines hold a persons weight?
This is of course just for fun, so no need to add posts saying they dont exist, or how it could never happen etc - for now lets assume that it can and it has!
what would you do? or wouldnt do? obviously in films they have to do the wrong things or theyd be very boring films...haha
cheers

ooh yes i think working your way through rural areas until you reach the coast is the best long term plan...
i live near the coat anyway so itd be easy
but id probably stay in my house for as long as possible... im lucky in that most of my living area in my house is on the first and second floor...ground floor is more storage etc, so i wouldnt be immediately noticable if i moved around inside ...
after as long as i could...and presumably when the zombies were getting weaker...id go for my car...and head to the nearest motorhome showroom...they are a bit out of the way so hopefully not many zombies about and get a decent sized motorhome.... then to a supermarket...or similar to stock up...probably smaller shops would be easier...easier to see the whole store for lurking zombies...and easier to ramraid perhaps...
then id try to fill up with diesel and as much fuel as i can
then id head off for the sea...find a boat and head off... id probably check out small islands like piel island that can only be reached by boat or walking across the sea bed a few times a day...chances of them doing that are slim i think, but at least youd have some degree of safety, as long as you kept an eye out.
id also have attempted to contact and pick up family etc if possible along the way.
i would also depending on the situation try to drain blood from a dead zombie and use it to 'line' the area..such as draw a circle round the property or use it so smear on posts etc, just to put them off a bit.
i would also use makeup etc to blend in if i need to go through them - although you risk being shot by other survivors if you do...though a big sign on your head saying - "im alive this is makeup! - dont shoot" could work - hahaha
another thought i had is chain mail outfits...or a wetsuit, with nails stuck through the rubber...and spiked collars and cuffs etc...
with time id make something great...like a porcupine haha

We're sorted, actually.
We're going to go and sit on the West Pier ...

i'm fairly sure zombies can't swim.

I live on the first floor so I'd be OK for a while as downstairs doors are always locked, food would be a concern (I simply hate shopping)
I'm sure zombies do exist you see them all the time wondering around city centres twitching away on their mobiles or whatever.
Loved JTH's comment about the logo... pmsl ;-)
