  1. I see shoes are now added! Suncream, well you never know? Insect repellant? I know that's something I'd need, everything insecty bites me in the summer!

  2. What about a tube of Nuun or similar, then you can mix up more energy drink on the go.

  3. It's on my list of things to try matt, want to see if I can tolerate it first, I don't really like the taste of energy drinks. Tmotortabs recently, great idea but tasted horrible.

    Jumbly you are great at this, keep going and by August I should be sorted.

  4. I'll let you try some of my Nuun. It's nice, I find a lot of the drinks taste yacky but Nuun is actually quite tasty.

  7. There's a few companies offering a Nuun -like product, pretty sure Camelbak do one too, but could be mistaken.
