You have to evade capture for 28 days

[classic33]

I'll answer you just as soon as I've finished making this axe out of a bounty hunter's tibia

Quick release?

Quick release?

Not right now thanks

Some ideas:

1. Grow a beard if you can. Make sure there are lots of recent photo's with the beard. Shave off beard ASAP after 'escape'
2. Divide compass into 6 x 60° number them 1 - 6. Roll a dice every day and move in the direction that corresponds to that sector on your compass. Will keep your movements random.
3. Wear a burkah.
4. My BiL moves barges and narrow boats around to get them in the right place for their next hire. Good way to travel undetected, especially if you're below decks.
5. Canoe. Could spend loads of time moving on some of the longer rivers and wild camping.

Are there more specific rules about 1 and 3?

It's just that they are open to interpretation.

1) Is there any distance specified in the moving rule? For example, if I'm dossing in a copse of half an acre size, can I doss in another copse quarter of a mile away or would that not be considered a proper move? Is it a minimum distance in miles?

3) Visiting the same place more than once - how big is somewhere to be considered the same place? If I find somewhere to crash in north Sheffield, would I then be allowed to crash somewhere else in, say, south Sheffield at a later point in the 28 day period?

Quite an interesting challenge I think.

At least 5 miles in each move. In 3 as long as more than 5 miles apart, no problem.

Re:3

A previous contestant tried that but stood out somewhat. So I think you have to go with the grey man or woman look. In other words blend in to your environment. So big rucksack and waterproof, fine on a long distance trail, not so much down Bromley high street.

Re:4

Far too many have got caught when they have involved family and friends. So I think you have to go dark as far as friends and family go.

The UK has roughly 1% of the world's population but an estimated 20%of the world's cctv cameras.

No worries. Wear a hat. You become practically invisible......

It then becomes a case of who & what yo're willing to trust.

One pair were caught, having accepted a lift from one of the hunters.

Your biggest worry is your digital footprint, already in place.

 

[fossyant]

They'd be able to hear your drivetrain in a few hours.

Nah, I'd take lube and an old rag !!!

 

[fossyant]

The celeb ones are the daftest - 'lets go and hid at our best mate/dad/family's house for a few days.

Nah I recon you could easily vanish in the Peaks/Lakes/Scotland/Yorkshire/Wales easily on an MTB.

Or where someone has had a lift from a truck driver, but they then have dobbed them in. I've seen a celeb. one where the driver went out of his way to evade the chasers.

 

[fossyant]

I'd dress up as a woman aged over 60; apparently they're invisible......

Nah, cyclists are invisible !!

And so far the extraction points have been in the south. Possibly to prevent something so simple being done.

You usually get enough notice to cycle to the extravtion points.

How far in two days cycling though?
