Walking to Work - Supplies?

Postby Snoop Doug » Wed Jun 10, 2009 8:57 am

OK folks

At around 6am tomorrow I'll be setting off on my journey. What do I need to take with me?

Garmin (someone's gonna want some proof eh... :roll: ) plus hrm strap for the nerd in me
Camera
Ipod - stuffed full of podcasts I need to catch up on

Bottle of water
Trainers (and some clothes I guess :shock: )

What else...?

When I did the Welsh 3000's in 2003, I walked for 17 hours non stop. I don't think you will need to take the things I did, but flapjacks, especially home made ones, are going to be a good bet and maybe a savoury course as well - butties? but not anything too heavy like pork pie, your stomach moves too much when you walk.

I would suggest walking boots as well, the pavements are too hard for trainers and as long as your boots have ankles, you will get more support from them.

Pity your route isn't near mine, otherwise I'd throw you a chunk of malt loaf from my pannier as I passed.

how'd it go then?
pretty quiet ride in this morning - traffic seemed no worse than normal (i.e. just moderately lethal).
