Zombie survival day

[Otispunkmeyer]

OH's birthday, loves this zombie stuff so gonna get on one of these zombie survival things and make a weekend of it in a decent hotel etc. (hopefully she isn't reading this!)


Question is, which one?! there seems to be loads! Though I am having a time separating out which ones are actually the same but advertised through different companies.

There seems to be a plethora of good venues. One I especially like the look of is the Last Survivors one in Chelmsford which is the old cold-war nuclear bunker. But there are also venues like an abandoned asylum in Liverpool, old empty tool factory in sheffield, abandoned shopping mall in Reading (though there are videos of this one on YT and it seems the Z's are a bit thin on the ground). Think there is another bunker one further into London.

Seems to be a few round manchester area... old manor house and the End of Days Events Ltd ones which are an old lab and an old mill, again in the manchester area.

Not sure which to go for really, they all sound good. Have any PH'ers been on any of these? what did you make of it? A lot seem to incorporate air-soft weapons...not sure what to make of that.

You could try a weekend in Hull. It's a lot more realistic as the zombies are likely to kill you and take your stuff - adds a little more adrenalin to the experience. They also very kindly wear shiny tracksuits to help you differentiate between the zombies and the normal human beings - not many of them left though. The zombies killed most of 'em

Or Keighley, or Bradford city centre. If the zombies don't get you as they lurch down the pavements, the higher intelligence zombies will certainly mow you down as you try to cross the road.

Joking aside, I'm a huge fan of the Zombie genre, I read barely nothing else !

If she hasn't tried the novels of RR Heywood, tell her to find them on Amazon. They are simply outstanding !

Thanks for the tip!

Yeah I have been to Hull. Its grim. An ex used to go to uni there. The things you saw on a night out.... I think for some, only getting a bottle to the face is classed as a successful time.

Resident Evil HD Remaster?

Close the curtains.

We did one in Manchester in an old school............a good laugh, but we never really took it too seriously.

Same company do a network of tunnels somewhere near Oxford (?) which would be a whole lot spookier.

Feck off! There are far worse places in the UK than Hull.

It's pretty bad, to be fair.

Grimsby is the real dump, though.

Yeah but sewers and prisons don't count.

Born in Hull myself - shhh don't tell anyone

OP, a nice small present for her if she hasn't read it is The Girl with all the gifts. Brilliant Zombie book - a very refreshing take on the genre.
