Getting Home - Odd thought

[Scythe13]

When I think about this question, I first thing, I'd start running, to cover off as much ground as possible. I totally agree about having to move tactically, but not from the get-go.

I'd change from office wear, GHB on, and then start scooting down the motorway. For the first day, I think most people would be dazed and confused, and it would probably be pretty safe. After the first day, people would start acting up, so I think it wise to cover as much ground as possible, in as short a time as possible. I work around 40 miles from where I live, and travel would be fastest on the motorway. If I can start shifting pretty early, I could potentially be most of the way home before it starts getting dark.

With this in mind, lets say I am only half way home when it turns dark. I would then have to make the additional 20 miles in the next day, if I chose to lay low at night. However, if moving tactically from the get go, let's say I manage half the distance. I would have to travel 30 miles the next day, and so on and so forth. But if you try to pace yourself for the first day, then your 'period of danger' and distance to home, will be massively reduced.

Personally, I think it makes sense to travel as much as possible at night, because there will be fewer people around. However, only do so if you know the area. Moving around in the dark, late at night, somewhere you don't know, is a great way to fall into a ditch and get hurt.
