My wife and I have just finished our LEJOG unsupported and with full
camping gear on our tandem covering 1004m in 15 and a bit days which is a
similar mileage to your trip. Based on our experience I would advise you
not
to worry one iota what you eat and just thoroughly enjoy your trip as we
most certainly did. You have to remember your not doing the Tour De France
you know.

I got as far North as Penistone last year and enjoyed the trip though I
bonked out once or twice in hilly regions.
Don't want to make the same mistakes with food. I'm not worried about pace
I just want to avoid the bonk and
get approximately the right sort of nutrition for the ride.

We typically ate Cross and Blackwell All Day Breakfast, Full Monte
etc,
cake stops whenever you fancy, real Cornish pasties from Cornwall are a
must, and farm brewed Scrumpy, numerous Snicker bars, real ale, bananas,
Stag Chilli with Uncle Bens 3 min rice, scrummy bar meals, fish and chips
and a sandwich here or there.

Ate much of that last year apart from the tinned foods.

The Snickers bars were the most effective at reviving us if we were
flagging, just take you time (our tour average was 12.57mph), see the
country as a whole all in one trip, and enjoy it as we did. I still dream
every night about ours and I envy you.

My aborted attempt last year was one of the most wonderful experiences that
I have ever had. I saw parts of the country
that i'd never been to before and met some pretty wonderful people. I have
come across references to some folk not getting the same
kick out of a repeat experience and I am to use a different route for the
southern half this year with the exception of the Wye valley..
just awesome......

If you want any tips on camp sites let me know.

I am a member of the Camping and Caravan Club and have thier directory along
with a large scale road map which flags up campsites.

I'm better prepared for the journey this time round. I am getting the miles
in and am in better form than I was last year. Just need to get the
calories in in a regulated way to cover the energy expenditure for me and
the camping gear.

Can't wait 'til Aug 11th!
