To be the voice of reason and no opinion would be a first for me.

Logic dicates that it would be an issue of time of year that would decide the course of best action.

I agree that the South would be a better choice for a long term solution. However, if it were late Autumn or early Winter, and the poop drops, then it would be best to get into an area that is safe, and hunker down and wait it out until a better season.

If I was still living up North in Warringotn, I'd trek over to mid Wales (Aberystwyth kind of lattitude), and wait out there over Winter. Then come mid spring, I'd make my way down to the South of Wales, and over towards Gloucester, avoiding the 2 bridges to Bristol, opting to go around the water. Then work along down south and enjoy the less aggressive winters.

If you've noticed, I've suggested it over a couple of years. The very simple reason is that, let's be fair, you don't know how long it'll take you to walk 100 miles, let alone 300 or 1000. If you average 10 miles a day, then that's still going to be a long time. If you average less than that, then fair enough it'll still take ages. The real issue is that travel will only really be viable on foot in late spring and summer. Then you have half of Autumn to hunker down and get ready for what could be a really harsh Winter.

Because we don't know the places will be passable, or where will be totally destroyed, it would be best to plan contingencies in not only courses of action, but also routes and things like that. That's another reason why I think it would be best to make contingencies and plan a long term route.

I for one, would be happy to travel up to North Wales, meet with everyone there, then join together and start the walk down south. Obviously it'll be a hell of a slog. The roads will be pretty jammed, and vehicles would be a waste. But it would still be progress in the right direction.

Oh yeah, if you can't tell by now, I don't expect roads to be passable. As one of the characters in Patriots said, "Roads are for people that like to be ambushed."
