To have made a new zombie apoloypse plan.

[HadABadDay2014]

If zombies attack I'm going to get my husband to fly me and the DC to Norway with a full plane full of food. Then live here until the plague is over. Then once it is I can restart the world food supply.

The Ukrainians are holding Russians off their boats with mattresses. Worth remembering for the ship.

Easy disposal of the reanimated among us too. Dash them overboard. I like it!

But what if we ran out of fuel? Can't attach a sail to a cruise liner.

But you can only survive a few weeks on a cruise ship. And what happens when it runs out of power. I'll tell you what happens. The toilets stop functioning and you are forced to use lift shafts as latrines. Haven't you watched these "my cruise ship holiday hell" shows?

I heard a story of a man who made his Diesel engine to run on pig poo. Surely a cruise ship could also be adapted? But... Errr... Not pig poo

Ok, you know that rabbit farm idea...

...well that.

Let's take the cruiseliner up to the SEED vault, collect the seeds, then make for one of the Channel Islands - maybe Sark or Alderney, one of the smaller ones which can be cleared of the infected pretty quickly but also has a harbour and a mild climate for growing said crops. Thus only on board for a few weeks and avoiding lift shaft loo hell.

You would need a watch tower and plan for spotting zombies walking underwater to the island.

Given that the world has gone to hell anyway we could just shit over the sides?

You want to bare your arse in a force 9 gale?

The army training ground isn't inhabited, the actual base is a few miles away, so hopefully we would be able to get in before an zombie soldiers, there might be a couple of guard zombies but should be able to deal with them!

I like the idea of Sark. Smart. DH has previously suggested the Isle of Man as he reckons everyone will be hotfooting it to the Isle of Wight...

Surely someone can engineer a....thing....that cushions you nicely yet safelt over the edge whilst you shite in the mouths of the walking dead?

Oh and if your cruise ship runs out of fuel, you are drifting so will at some point hit land and either end up shipwrecked or the zombies will be waiting to get you.

I think I'm more inclined to go with jojane's army ground at this point.

Yes but the problem with the army ground is there'll be plenty of rival groups. We'd be guarding valuable, desirable goods which would leave us open to repeated attacks.

Hmmmmm.

Zombies can climb anchor ropes. We'd need some kind of giant whatever those things are that stop dogs chewing themselves after an op thing to stop them climbing on board.

Isle of Man
60miles from Ireland and British mainland.
Extension road network.
Existing emergency services of police, coastguard, fire and rescue, ambulance and civil defence corps.
Area of 221 sq miles.
Surrounded by several islands (including one with an unmanned light house.
Hills in the north and south separated by a central valley, with extreme north being exceptionally flat.
It has one mountain which according to an old saying you can see the six kingdoma of the Mann, Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales and Heaven.

Sark
25miles off France
Cars are banned - only tractors and horse drawn vehicles allowed
Including the nearby island of Brecqhou has an area of 2.10 sq miles.
Two parts of the island are connected by a very narrow strip of land. (Protective railings were erected in 1900; before then, children would crawl across on their hands and knees to avoid being blown over the edge.)

I'm going with the Isle of Mann, provided you can get there before the locals start shooting new arrivals. Its defendable and big enough to support a population.

Red you've made a good pitch there.
I'm in the North so if I can start up the canal boat and navigate the waterways quickly, I reckon I could do it and get there in time.

I live on the Isle of Sheppey. We have these nearby. You're all invited.

Those are some good looking defence!
Only one minor flaw - they are designs to fire on ships.
The zombies will be coming up the sea bed up the legs of those things. The guns don't point down....

You're going to die in the canal boat

I reckon we just cruise the world looting food and supplies from massive ports which have huge fuck-off fences to keep Zeke out. With Daryl. I can see me and Daryl getting pretty close.

I'm not planning on eating any of you so can I be the strong moral force who preserves the humanity of the whole group and becomes a positive metaphor for the ultimate resilience of the human spirit? Or are we more interested in rabbit breeding?

The cruise is out of the question, I think logically the best bet is a space ship.

Aren't the locals already shooting incomers on The Isle of Man?

we live pretty rural do reckon me and the neughbours plus kids and dh would stand together, my dh had a truck so we would probably drive to my parents and pick them up as they are an hour away but dad had shotguns and a pretty decent aim, so pick up them and had back to our strong hold,

I imagine we would have to build a big fence surrounding the area, does anyone know if zombies can walk through hedges? If not we would just reinforce hedges, block gaps, we would have to get some farm animals from surrounding fields to feed us, but veg is a question, we would have to get a seed supply to grow veg, which would involve a trip to a town, we have running water near enough to us to be ok for water, not sure about fish though,

has anyone gone back to the start of the walking dead, zombies are much faster and smarter at the start of the outbreak, one even managed ti climb a fence and work together to break down glass doors, so would have to be very careful for first few months until zombies start decomposing and being easier to kill and are stupid,

Mmmbacon I fear for your hedges after the last WD season and they had to spend all that time protecting the perimeter fences of the prison. They were metal. Your Leylandii seems vulnerable to me.

If no canal boat, should I get a speedboat to get over to the Isle of Man instead?

Jenny see these hedges aren't garden hedges, they are field hedges used to keep cows horses sheep in, we also have streams north south east and west of us, so hoping the natural topography of the region would help protect us and with some strategically placed barriers on the road we could minimise the numbers that make it into our area,
