Food for my Brecon Beacon's trek. . .Tomorrow I set out to walk the Brecon Beacon's circuit. The 11 mile walk encompasses three peaks in the Brecon Beacon National Park (including Pen y Fan) the highest peak in the UK south of Snowdonia. Of course my caloric intake won't match the 12,000 of Michael Phelps but I thought some of you who regularly visit my blog might be interested in what I am taking.
2 Peanut butter and blackberry jam sandwiches
1 ham and cheese sandwich with mustard (not Cleveland -we don't waste it on such journeys)
5 slices of cheddar cheese
2 bags of crisps
a bag of clementines
1 container of raisins
a bag of Honey Nut Cheerios
a half bag of Maltesers (I ate half whilst packing)
1 container of water
1 container of high energy drink (and perhaps a Fosters for a celebratory drink at the top)
If you notice, I also included the sandwich bags in the photo. They are green bags made out of glucose for instant energy and so that you don't leave trash on the trail.

I think you need more liquids then that. I drink more when I walk the dog around the block.... Good Luck!
I can't tell you how much I wish I could accompany you on your trek. Godspeed.
i also cant believe thats all the water you'd bring. i'd like to know what was left over? im guessing the fruit.
