Dunwich Dynamo 2008

The midpoint will plan to feed around 500 people so if you reckon you'll get there before 2am then there is a really good chance that you'll get something to eat (Don't forget to pack money like I did first time out.) Other than that, if you don't want to carry a whole meal plus extras, I believe there is a 24hr garage in Sudbury just a couple of miles before handn where you will at least be able to grab pasties, sandwiches and the like.

For other food, I advise a couple of snickers, a couple of bananas, a decent sized packet of nuts and some other dried fruit (figs work really well). For emergencies, stash a pack of dextrose tablets but try not to use them unless collapse is imminent.

Consider taking a wad of toilet paper as well. I have it on good authority that wiping your arse on soggy dock leaves is not conduicive to a good ride.

Cheers dude, thanks for the advice. I love eating so I think I will take the whole meal with me too, I don't really mind carrying the extra weight, I would rather have too much food than too little.

I really like Scott's idea earlier in the thread of bringing beans and sausages in a thermos, that sounds like a real treat at half past whenever in the morning on the side of a road!
