Any advice about what to eat at the checkpoints would be very welcome BritNick, I don't have a clue and this is the longest thing I've ever done so any helpful hints would be very much appreciated.

It happens to me every time after Stonehouse on the Fellsman, not to mention Courmayeur on UTMB. I remember sitting down as weak as a kitten on the top of Great Knoutberry to eat my own sugary fuel after the substantial feed at Stonehouse, just to get going again. I've grown wise to it. If you have savoury pasta, chase it down with something sweet and substantial like rice pudding and peaches. Oh bum, they don't serve that at Stonehouse.
