I was considering bread but I won't be getting a wine platty until I Challenge with TTS. Then he can carry it... (I do have my hipflask, I think it will contain Glenmorangie this time) You're quite right though, it has to be food I want to eat, not just fuel and that's the tricky bit.<br /><br />Chocolate, yep, that's on the list, but I'm rubbish with Twix, Mars Bar and the like. It has to be Green and Blacks, 70%, Cherry, perhaps Ginger... and it's not so easy to scoff, that's something I savour in the tent at night. When I remember. Doh!<br />I can't currently decide between homemade flapjack (yummy) or Nature Valley (yummy, but obviously not quite as good as mine but comes in convenient watertight packages. Decisions!<br /><br />Oo, Alan, I'd not come across Spenco 2nd skin and I've been looking for something like that. Thanks for the tip!<br />I know my Merrells will be good, but I'm just soppy about my Brashers! (The Kenai is on The List For Future Reference. Just don't tell TTS!)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-72044643514496280282011-12-08T09:24:04.733+00:002011-12-08T09:24:04.733+00:00Hi Louise, I think you are making the right decisi...Hi Louise, I think you are making the right decision on taking the Merrill Chameleon’s instead of the Brasher Hillmaster’s. It should help your heel. <br />It could be worthwhile sticking some Spenco 2nd skin adhesive knit over the damaged one just to give it a bit of support. Or just taking a strip with you.<br /><br />The Brasher Kenai GTX look nice too.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-18797277131732439842011-12-07T21:06:53.681+00:002011-12-07T21:06:53.681+00:00Regarding calories, I'm going to give the obvi...Regarding calories, I'm going to give the obvious answers: Chocolate (or more chocolate, as the case may be). Or perhaps flapjacks (or more flapjacks, as the case may be). I find both to be excellent calories for the weight and I'm yet to look at either and think "I don't fancy that right now". <br /><br />There's plenty of time to eat healthy stuff before and after the Challenge.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648378503343413924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-46698249768798894722011-12-07T19:09:55.879+00:002011-12-07T19:09:55.879+00:00CHEESE!

With fresh bread (which doesn't weigh *too* much).<br />Take *tasty* cheese, as you soon get bored with mild shop cheddar. Boursin slathered over fluffy bread with chopped cloves of garlic and some tasty French sausage.<br />Red wine to wash it all down - You need food to look forward too - not just "fuel".<br />It's a holiday - enjoy the gourmet experience.<br /><br />Don't blame me if you rear gets bigger, that's all...It'll be muscle from the walking.Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.com
