Same problem with Granola's. They're OK if you've got a hot cuppa to dip them in. Sort of enhances the tea a bit.

BP, those meals were not "rejected by Eitheopians" for no good reason!

true, anyway your probably better off making up your own, to your own taste.

I do that and I vary them depending on time of year and intended location. In the winter it is biased towards carrying in the car incase of getting stranded in the snow, and in summer I aim to pack lighter stuff for backpacking on Dartmoor.

good lad, one of these days when you do your Dartmoor trips we should meet somewhere, seeing as how i'm just north of Dartmoor.

whats it like on dartmoor? always intended to go, never got round to it xD do they even allow camping?

You can wild camp on a large part of Dartmoor. Have a look at the Dartmoor national park website. Its a fantastic place. I could go on for hours about its attractions. Also as I'm sure Big Paul would agree, Exmoor is a totally different but equally fantastic place, but wild camping is not officially allowed so has to be done discretely.
