Walking Nutrition

For anyone planning to do a similar thing, it is important to understand that such an undertaking is more than just walking even though it is the main point.

Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) suggests 2000 kcal per day for an average adult though walking for 10 hours predicted may force this up to maybe 2800 kcal required. Problem is the weight of carrying food along with all other equipment.

Principle diet per day:

80 g Porridge Oats
110 g Cous cous
120 g Pasta
265 g Peanuts

This just about works sitting doing nothing but will be walking again next week after a nice holiday which involved some walking bare foot on tarmac to harden my feet for next year. As always, anything to ask ? please do.
