Hello forum!

I've been a visitor for a couple of weeks now and have been reading with great interest. Especially loving the tips thread.

This July im riding to the Vendée region of France from Kent via Dieppe. Its approximately 400 miles and i anticipate doing it in around 5 days camping along the way.

I'm basically a newbie to touring and so I have quite a few questions.

My 1st question however is whats the best type of food/drink to carry and buy? Currently i'm thinking pasta as a staple. Drink wise, is water best or is it best to add an energy mix to it?

Thanks in advance, Neil
