Just mulling the escape clause. Where would you go?

Somewhere with cracking singletrack.

Alaska

If I wanted to disappear I probably wouldn’t post about it on social media

The shed

Hounslow

I have disappeared. This is where I ended up.

A little bit disappear, Mull

Properly disappear, bike, tent and global nomadic travels.

Deepest British Columbia. Maybe even Vancouver Island. Lots of opportunities to disappear there.

As in do a midnight flit? Yeah wouldn’t be writing about it here.
Getting away from it all (legally etc), then Northern Spain, Girona area. Busy but not crowded, great riding, access to mountains, beaches, great weather and what seems a relaxed way of life.

Wigan Pier

Ouagadougou or if I wanted to vanish beyond the event horizon into an unknowable blackness of infinitesimal obscurity, Frizzington

Edit: Batley.

Pub.

Tora Bora

To middle-age.

I’d head off, just me, the bike and the sweet sweet trails behind the nationwide in Swindon.

Anywhere where there’s a tourist industry – it’s what a friend from school did!

Depends on who’d be looking but north Africa or South America. There my be better places but I don’t know them.

Behind me grans wardrobe.

Depends who is looking. Possibly the Nilgiris in Southern India.

The Yukon.

‘Spoon’s bogs

Depends, to get away from the inlaws then yup, go somewhere with nice biking.

To win a series of the Hunted. Chuck on an old coat and go homeless. Has to be better than the usual plan hide on a campsite/bothy in Scotland or Wales where you stick out like a sore thumb and eventually the locals shop you for the reward.

I wouldn’t, the flush in the en suite wont shift a #2.

There’s an empty house in Ooty at the moment our family had vacated….

Personally NZ or Tasmania appeals, although keeping moving by bike doing seasonal work through Europe also appeals.

Until the producers get bored of your antics and decide to contrive your capture anyhow via the GPS tracker you’re carrying around.

To disappear is not a place.

London. Nobody who knows me would ever dream of looking for me there.

Depends who you’re escaping from. Non-arrestable / domestics matters, I’d probably go to Ireland- reciprocal rights, freedom of movement, friendly population, large areas are very rural and peaceful anything a bit more serious probably southern Spain; English widely spoken, lots of cheap accommodation, again freedom of movement (atm), large ex-pat community so easier to be anonymous (although this can also work against you – been a lot of crime stoppers I tell garnered over the last few years) and good weather. Amsterdam and other cities in the Netherlands popular for similar reasons, the downsides there being you’ll be surrounded by scouse crims doing something similar so will probably return home sooner to avoid accents and casuals clothing.
Anything more serious, depends how much you can pay – Panama, Dubai seem to be popular – English widely spoken, good standards of living, centres for bent banking.

Or just turn off the mobiles and leave the internet and stay at home and don’t bother, as the great Norman Stanley Fletcher said, “ Before too long he’ll be Googie Withers again.”

I’d probably do Portugal or northern Spain. Maybe south eastern Europe, (Bulkans) amazing area but bigger language issues.

To middle-age.

Off to be the wizard?

With budget – New Zealand.
Without budget – London.

I’d be the Scottish Labour leader, no one would have a clue who you are.

If you can’t master the accent, you could lead the LibDems down here for a similar effect.

Shhhhhh my precious!

Squamish or Downieville I think, just for the trails. Squamish is probably a little too like the UK weather wise, Downieville would have a better climate…

Can’t read the title without thinking of Rogue Male by Geoffrey Household. You’d hope to go to ground somewhere rural but as stated above staying put like that and not attracting attention is hard to achieve.

In reality the rather dull answer (assuming we are talking uk) is to move to a new area, probably south of england where no one really cares/notices who their neighbour is, and rent a borng semi. I guess the problem long term would be getting legit work without using your NI number or accessing your old bank accounts.

He can’t 🙂

Somewhere with a barter economy.
