Although I live in London, I don't go walking much in Britain because
food, accomodation and transport are so expensive (and not very good).

But I hope to go walking on Exmoor in Sept and I shall be away from
shops for a while (5 days?).

I have no problem with this in most of Europe. Am just back from the
Cevennes in France, where was walking away from any shops or villages
for over a week. There I'd carry sourdough bread, salame/saucisson,
hard goat's cheese, carrots, apples, dried apricots.

Was very interested in the discussion about pack weight. I'm afraid I
was carrying 16 or 17 kilos, inc water/food. But very difficult to
avoid. Temp down to freezing with immense winds at times.

What would the panel suggest to carry on Exmoor as food for five days?
Bought locally.
