Well, I have looked locally and all I can find in short distance is the no so secret bunker on portland or troy town forest?

Did not until now realise how open it is down here..

well that's good, Donny, you've made a start and switching on to your surroundings with a new awareness. I'm not sure if these locations are for a meeting place? or thinking more of an area where a small community could exist? If it was the latter then I think Portland's out as it would be too easy to be hemmed in, or trapped. For that reason, I'm ready to bail out of Portsmouth as it is actually an island and wouldn't take much to contain it and everyone in it. As you say, Dorset and a lot of that area is wide open. I'd thought of the New Forest (where I'm from originally) or maybe Wales. I don't think there's much point in Cornwall, as I remember it's pretty barren landscape. Something, somewhere, will turn up.

Southsea, man, I think you have got it, last place I would have thought of, new forest.
Nice one

well, we'd have to do a bit of googling between us to find an area with spring water, or at least a flowing river, also wildlife. I thought maybe someplace out of the way and sheltered, possibly close to the coast for fishing (survival). it's all just ideas and possibilities. I know that the New Forest is a big old bit of land and once tucked away it would be easy to move across country to a wide variety of areas if need be also there are small communities dotted about and I can't see putting troops out there. Mind you, if I remember rightly, there was/is some secret spy training place out near Beaulieu way, or it was active during WW11.

Hi Alternative Answer, meant to say hello earlier, how're you doin'?

Hi everyone,
I like the sound of the New Forest, plenty of game/ water/cover, however, is it too near the coast? I've been led to believe you need to be inland 50/100 miles at least and high up too. Though I supose it depends what calamity one should prepare for. What with the predictions of anything from an Ice age to the northern hemephispere being nuked.

Anyhow, first things first, we have to decide where and when we can all meet up.

LOve, peace and courage to all.

Hi Golden Lady, speaking of meeting up, I won't be able to get to Bournemouth that day. I have an extremely small budget and I've laid in a stock of food, the remaining £100 is for a bus or train ticket out of town, if needs be, and extra rations. But I will follow progress for now via Avalon. My email is up on the uk ground crew listings if anyone wants to contact me direct.

just another quick thought, it may be an idea to invest in a wind up / solar powered shortwave radio, also wind up / solar powered torch and a catapult / slingshot would be useful too. Anyway, catch up later, I'm off to surf the alternative news sites, I like to keep up with what's going on because it's all unfolding so fast.
