I usually eat mostly sweet stuff on long runs but couldn't even put a piece of flapjack in my mouth on my BG, it felt weird. I did have a cornish pasty on leg 2 which I nibbled on for quite a while and Paul fed me small pieces of peanut butter sandwich and banana on leg 3 which went down well. I had the occassional gel, some haribo sweets and a turkish delight on leg 4 which was delicious. Clare fed me rice pudding whilst we were climbing Great Gable which was very funny as it kept blowing off the spoon! I also had some cold sausage at one point. I drank a bottle of High 5 2:1 energy drink on each leg. It's very gentle on the stomach, does the job superbly and not sweet and sticky at all. I've known people eat cold boiled potatoes and even boiled eggs! Not sure I could've stomached an egg. The key I think is to eat little and often and a good variety of foods then you won't need to stop so long at the road support. The only 'big' meal and sit down I had was at Wasdale where I had veg soup and a bread roll.
