Sorry for the trivial content but I was idly browsing around the web for the ideal PO refuge & found the ultimate bug-out! Read the descriptions - you just gotta love Esate Agents...

Ex Royal Observer Corps. Nuclear Bunker Kildonan, Isle Of Arran

Yours for just £25k...

Beautiful location
Spectacular views
Historicaly interesting property

This interesting property is located on the outskirts of the beautiful village of Kildonan and is a unique piece of Arran’s social history. At ground level all that is visible are the raised entrance hatch, the ventilation shaft and the brick aircraft observation building. The accommodation section of the bunker is located about 6 metres underground and measures approximately 5.43 metres by 2.27 metres and it comprises a living/bedroom and separate toilet area.

That is awesome, what a view. I noticed the fun little graphic of the happy family underground while a mushroom cloud appears. Not much land, sadly, although extremely remote.

Do you still reckon on leaving France, JPL?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('JPL', 'S')igh, yes, I am leaving. The plans I made 7 years ago are looking very dated. I did the best I could figure at the time but it appears that events are going out of control and instead of running away from Peak Oil I have run straight into it (groan).

Sorry to hear that. Not sure what has happened to you guys there, it sounded like a good place.

[dinopello]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('JPL', 'O')h the usual sketch, I expect. Tractor spares, home-brew, ripping-off the tourists & cash-economy. To add spice, the odd artist, tarot-card reader, village drunks & teen-age Goths with no-where to go.

Boss digs, JPL. Norteno Americanos might jump for some of the crash pads over at misslebases.com. Really. Perfect place to park your Minuteman II!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dinopello', '
')Hey, I was a tourist all over the Hebrides, I like the terrain over there. Skye was great, and the B&Bs were a bargain. That was a while ago though. As long as the gulf stream stays put it would be a great place to be I think. Lots of nice sheep too.

Perfect.

the Isle of Arran thing looks good to me! At least as a summer cottage sort of thing. Hunting/fishing/foraging must be good, the seaweed would be "dulse" which I think is Scottish for "delicious".

Go into town once a month, farmer's market or something, to do your buying and sell stuff or something to meet your cash needs, not bad.

The thing is to get out to the edges of whatever Empire dominates your area, this area would do fine.

MadPaddy,

You are already in a 'happy' place in comparison to the rest of the world. Once all the investors/movers/shakers go elsewhere your beautiful green isle (with less than 5 million population) will return to its humble roots. Stay put, hold on. Educate those around you by example. I would only be sweating if I was in Dublin and heavily invested in the market (real estate/investing/business in general).

Cheers...

[Madpaddy]

I'm trying the example part. I'm the guy in uniform in the second picture.

[Madpaddy]

That picture doesn't load. Anyway, the project we did is working out well. LateStarter, you are right, I am very happy where I am now.

[mercurygirl]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('JPL', 'Y')ea the Scottish islands will get cut-off first from the UK mainland if things get tough. Also expect a rough and fairly short transition to 'true' self-sufficiency. BUT - that might also be our salvation - that's what I'm thinking.

Any learned thoughts on the matter would be welcome. We really are thinking very seriously about this move but it's also causing a lot of angst...[/i]
