How would you fuel yourself for a 10 walk to sainsburys?

What would you advise in the way of energy drinks, gels, cake etc? A friend of mine recently bonked half way to the shops, I think he had porridge before he left.

slowmart

Its great.



I do remember when i was young and an old timer said to me that when you get to his stage in life there's nothing more satisfying than a good dump. :twisted:

Amazing what rubbish stays in your head or what gets posted on here!

There used to be a pub en route, but it's now a McD's drive through. There used to be a pub in the other direction, it's now a Tesco Metro. In both cases they have been improved, this in spite of the fact that I will not go into either of them. They were the most godawful pubs ever.
I've found a mint Aero in my desk so I should make it. The danger of getting there too hungry is I will buy all sorts of stuff that I shouldn't. This is probably why I had a mint Aero in my desk.

You clearly haven't been to Hanworth, I wouldn't touch most of the locals with yours. :shock:

Haribo followed by chorizo. Or a hip flask full of grappa. Or even all 3.

Alternatively, send a member of staff.

All damned fine ideas there. Eating my own body weight in Nutella probably would have done the job too.

When I get back this summer from being away I'll pop a bottle of the home made "digestive" in the post.

Think Abruzzese mountain grappa meets angry grappa meets Glaswegian grappa. But eminently drinkable and no discernible hang over.

You won't be walking those 10 miles, it'll be full gas all the way....,,

Sounds good, especially the no hangover bit. Had some lovely Grappa in my local Italian a while back. New waitress from Bassano di Grappa had brought a bottle over with her. It was very good, but mainly she was lovely. Unfortunately she wouldn't let me get a picture of her norks, more grappa was needed.
It's a whole 10 minute walk to Sainsbury's I need to fuel up for, hence the worry about fuelling properly. Fortunately I made it without having to resort to a McD's pit stop.

Chilled grappa or room temp? I must admit to being partial to both. It's a bit like drinking chilled red - at first it seems wrong but works sooo well.

Reference waitress - this is your new challenge. Following the failure on here of someone who shall not be named to get piccies of Waitrose girl while he stalks her dressed head to toe in full downhilling clothes, I feel the mantle is now on you.
