Preparing for W2W! Well W2Home..

[Jazz]

Hi everyone!

I'm doing the W2W next month, we're going to do it in two days, start at Walney, stop at Kendal 1st night, then get to Ferryhill on the Saturday. We might (but probably won't) cycle to Sunderland on the Sunday to say we've done it. I anticipate that I'll be too knackered, but it'd be nice to do it so I can say I actually completed it!

Anyway.... I am just about to purchase the last few things I need. I have already got:

Bike ()
Saddle bag with - Puncture repair patches, spare tube, toolkit
pump
water bottle
Bib shorts
Cycle shoes & cleats (haven't practiced in them yet though..)
Helmet
gloves
windproof

I need:

Bag - I'm thinking hydration pack but I need someone to give me good advice on what size is good to store food and other stuff in also.
Food - I think I'm just going to get some gel packs from Wiggle. I have got Nuun tablets for my water. I have read on here that Jaffa Cakes, bananas and stodgy cake are good. Would soreen (malt loaf) be decent to take with me?

Cheers in advance everyone!
