I think Bugging out without a destination is universally a bad idea, regardless of your location. You are basically just embracing the refugee lifestyle. All the material pout out on bugging out does has some merit though; you may be away from your BOL, be that your home or somewhere more rural, and have to get back using what you prepped and have close at hand.

I really hope that one of the last things the state does before imploding totally, in the event of a full blown Ragnarok scenario, is declare some sort of martial law on big cities, containing most of the people until it is too late for them to get very far.

I think the best strategy would be to either have a plot of woodland and some open ground, with a hidden shelter, or a home / retreat (could just be your house though) in somewhere like Cumbria or north Wales, in a small village where most people are on board and self reliant. You'd then stay low for the first 90 days, and try to intercept refugees before they even get close with ambush / patrols.
