    Malt loaf, pitta/primula and those hot dog sausages in a can were what got me through my gold in the Lakes.

    Malt Loaf is pre-packed, one for each day 😉
    Them Hot Dogs in a can are a bit heavy!

    Heavy – yes. But boil them up, then use the dirty sausage juice to make your soup. Then turn the can into a weapon to keep stoats at bay.

    a box of cereal bars is always good, I find tesco value pretty unpalatable, but the sainsburys basics ones are alright 😛

    Flapjacks.

    I have even made a handy dispenser for eating on the run in mountain-marathon events. (works best with home-made crumbly flapjacks)

    Granola bars are my favourite snack at the moment, I’ll get through a fair few of them on a ride or walk.

    also make some plastic bags up of raisins and nuts, one per day etc! work well. also dried apricots give you a good boost!

    My son went to the Black Forest in Germany for his 😆
    The Germans loved the kilt wearing Scotsmen and he got invited to BBQs and a wedding with friends he made whilst there

    Sausages and bacon and chicken all in little plastic bags and hope that you get hot weather.
