I also use Energy Bomb - see www.pulsin.co.uk - for details. Not tasty or the easiest to eat but it does work. As main snacks I have a pasta/chicken/veg mix, which is a slower release of energy and a few sweets, chocolate and nut treats . This is my strategy to tackle my first 85 mile walk. I did read Julia's comments as to blisters and in my earlier comments to you the condition of my feet are my main concern. Here I have good walking shoes (three pairs) as I will change them as I go along, good insoles (Superfeet - www.superfeet.com) and I wear a liner sock in addition to my main socks. Before I put my socks on I rub vaseline pure petroleum jelly into my feet. Thanks also for the encouraging weather forecast.Good luck No. 1548.Fraser Mackayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554643439067026965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4036242494698359445.post-46572609469114575872009-06-15T16:56:31.827+01:002009-06-15T16:56:31.827+01:00Hi Adam,

It doesn't ruin or remove any colour from your socks/trainers and it doesn't smell.<br /><br />I was recommended this a couple of Months ago and apparently Sue Biggart uses this trick.<br /><br />I've tried it out a couple of times and I really think it is quite effective. Not only does it help prevent blisters, I also think their is a bit more cushioning.<br /><br />I'm using the boots brand as it is slightly cheaper but I'm sure it's the same stuff, just different packaging.<br /><br />Good luck!Julia Furnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10940698326224918162noreply@blogger.com
