We tried out our sleds again today along the country lanes of Herefordshire. It was a sunny and relativly warm day; not what you want when practising for the Arctic. It did mean that a lot of people were out walking or in their gardens. Most asked us what we were training for, but some tried to pretend we did not exist. I think that maybe they thought we were crazy.

Our eating strategy includes munching on seeds as we go along. These are a great source of energy, being high in fat (the good sort) they contain about 600 calories in a 100 grams. We have been very fortunate to have been supplied these by Munchy Seeds. Check out their website for some great graphics. http://www.munchyseeds.co.uk/. My only concern was being able to get into the packets (my views on stuggling to get into packaging are legendary). Well, you can get into their packets very easily even wearing two pairs of gloves. Well done Munchy Seeds.

The seeds taste great and come in a couple of flavours - I love the chilli ones.
