What sweets or treats for the trail.

[Kerne]

Chocolate covered raisins. Because they always remind me of this:

'What's that?" said one of the school kids I was talking for a walk over Rhossili Down on the Gower, pointing at a pile of sheep droppings.
I pretended to pick one up, put a chocky raisin in my mouth and chewed with a quizzical expression on my face as the kids "grossed out" (their words)
"Too nutty for Swaledale," I said, "I reckon its Welsh Mountain Black."

Usually I take some good quality energy bars, like Jordans. As well as being tasty they are good for you. I like to have a bag of nuts too, I like salted ones but I've got to take plenty of water too. Dark chocolate is nice but it melts which can be messy so I rarely take any out and about with me; I eat it at home.

Varies and I'm not out walking for a while anyway but at home at the moment

Werther's Original Butter Mints
Grey's Herbal Tablet (Kid's got me a proper 5lb jar for xmas)
Iceland own brand mixed toffees.

mixed nuts and raisins, when I was young it was always rolled oats with sugar in a paper bag.
It rotted my teeth, but tasted great.

Flapjacks every time !!!!
will keep you walking all day and come in all sorts of flavours these days !! and with none of the suger lows of sugary snacks

Flapjack is good stuff, as JAG says, and if you make your own (and its dead easy) you can add anything you like. Mine usually contains liberal quantities of almonds.

 

[WeThePeoplexfbm]

[Melonfish]

Dried apricots, fruit and nut mixs, apples, clementines, quite like the 'geobars' especially the one with honey mmm.

Strangers have the best sweets apparently.

 

[ganzter]

[spiritwalker]

nuts and dried fruit and nature valley granola bars particularly the maple syrup ones and endless amounts of chewing gum

 

[Shambling Shaman]

Always have a packet of rat pack boiled sweets in my bag..

 

[Satyr]

Flapjacks if I have made them (usually do a cinnamon, honey and rasin ones) or dried dates and apricots. Though I am still using the leftover chocs from xmas - I throw in a handfull in my bag and usually leave them for a few months

My mate happens to own a confectionary company. They make all sorts of handmade boiled sweets, lucky tatties etc. I'm never short of bags of irn bru humbugs, vimpto humbugs, winter mixture, guinness humbugs, etc. The irn bru ones have to be a fave though, always got a bag in my shooting coat pocket.
