Arent they quite expensive though?

What about pasties/pies.
I remember, many years ago...when i was watching Blue Peter....one of the presenters did a massive run/walk/thingy aross darkmoor which the soilders have to complete to get their beret.
Im sure they ate some sort of pastie at the food stops

Bit late in this debate - but always struggled with eating too!

Didn't ever feel hungry or enjoyed eating during my bg - only thing i got down after leg two was gels, bananas & jellie babies. Eric Draper, when he realised i couldn't eat made me suck on jellie babies pretty much continuously... Worked well, as there was no 'effort' involved!

At stops i had soup or porridge and/or fruit smoothies (i never eat fruit, but had strange cravings for it!!)

Seperating drink & nutrition works better for me nowadays - ie. electrolytes (nuun) only in water instead of claggy carbohydrate drinks... Seems to result in more of an appetite.

I remember reading about Don Whillans and Chris Bonnington having the debate about food options that fit the "loads of calories - low weight - low volume" requirement, this was prior to a winter ascent of the Eiger N Face. Their conclusion was that a diet of Scotch Whisky and Sausages was the way to go

Any thoughts about whether this would set you up for a fast round?

funny things BGRs for cravings and dislikes it certainly muddles the thinking process. In addition to a fixation with Pot Noodles never rekindled since I craved almost endlessly a Dr Pepper all the way round from kirkFell. Couldnt get it out of my mind and it took on the proportion that a Dr Pepper would be the only thing that could save a flagging BGR. Next day I went to the garage in keswick bought a large bottle, had one sip and threw the rest away. Dont think i've had a DP since or even a yearning for one!

Thanks Britta, maybe it's a girl thing?! that's just it though, I never 'feel' hungry, think it will be a case of resorting to waiting to be reminded, perhaps there is a lot of unnecessary worry but I'm not particularly keen on the idea of feeling sick or vommiting all the way round

certainly muddles the thinking process.

hence the questions re breakfast at breakfast!! I know I'm coming across as worry wart but figure it best to pick peoples brains of those that have been there, best prepared and all that.

[emmilou]

has any one mention crisps. ? I had at least one pack of Hoola hoops per leg, possibly more, carbs fat minerals, a good mix and strong flavours

Now I LIKE those!! (only readay salted though ) Didn't think of that one. Thanks Ian.
