On the move
Bombay mix
2 x energy gels
3 x Energy bars (Powerbar/SIS bars/Maxim etc)

I bought the dehydrated food from America (the Mountain House & Apline Aire stuff) which was better than anything I could find in the UK. I ordered from rei.com (see links page).
Generally I found that I was consuming around 3500 calories a day. If I did the MdS again, I wouldn�t carry the Greenheat � there was enough fuel in the desert to light a small fire at each bivvy site.
