I can't be the only one who enjoys Smash with some salami sliced into it 
, that and super noodle type things, I usually go for chicken flavour noodles and add an extra chicken cuppa soup to make a decent ramen type noodle soup.
I usually start the day with porridge (flavoured with fruit, honey, moths... or whatever comes to hand) and fresh coffee
Then graze through the day on flapjacks, trail mix and cups o'T whenever I get near to a boiling kettle
And finish with a hearty hot supper
Always in reserve somewhere are a couple of star bars, kendal mintcake and nutrigrain, tho' I feel like i cheated if i resort to them.
That along with whats already been mentioned will have you eating like a king for the duration

Leon,
I wouldn't worry too much about "posh food". Take what you like that doesn't weigh a tonne. Are you having to carry your gear in or is land rovered? The slami the guys are referring to are whole salamis in plastic bags - most big supermarkets have em.
Smash is easy (get individual packets).
Pot noodles have been mentioned.
I like chewy cereal bars - they take no effort.
Cheese is good - individual ones as said
Good old "beans and sausage" or "big breakfast" in a tin
Tinned "bacon fry" or corned beef.
Dried onion is nice (comes in a bag). Smash, dried onion mixed to a thick paste. Chop in half a tin of corned beef and fry the lot - yum!
Think about things like tortillas or nan brads - come in placcy bags and dont go stale. Great for ripping up and scooping up pot noodle with
Isotonic lucozade powder is a good pop / squash substitute.
Get some of that instant porridge you mix with hot water if you like it
Packet of muffins or crumpets do welll toasted.
Cheese spread in a tube or small peanut butter are good
MARMITE (drinks, spreads etc)
Have fun

Hi Leon, I'm not long back from a woodlore course, if you are taking any dried food such as dried eggs, rasins, flour, in fact anthing in packets, put them in somthing mouse proof! three tents were eaten into including mine, and much of my dried food was contamiated with mouse poo, and ended up in the bin. In the end I had to hang my food from a tree in a waterproof bag, you'd have thought I was in bear country.
Leon you could have a look in the cookware section of a supermarket and see if they've
got any "Biokips" or "Lock & Lock" type plastic boxes - although I think probably any
plastic box with a good seal would do. They're not expensive - but to buy one for each
dried food would be - so perhaps you could just get one or two larger ones and bag your
items and then put them in there.
I've got mice at home and they don't seem to be able to smell the contents or they're
unable to chew through the plastic boxes.
The hanging food from a tree sounds like a good idea also - definitely the end of a
branch or whatever as they can climb anything. I think my mice have a pulley
system in place to winch them on to my counter-top or perhaps a trampoline somewhere
as they make absolutely no sound scrabbling up the cupboards - I am not quite sure
how they are doing it
Re: cheese - I think there was a funny bit in one of the Adrian Mole stories where he
goes camping and finds that cheese was the only thing that didn't leak or require a tin
opener I don't think mice featured though...

Hi Leon, the mice could also be your next meal if you catch them nicking your other grub by the way have a good time.
by the way have a good time.
When I did my Fundamental in 2004 we had a guy called Alex in the group who worked for Woodlore, and IIRC did it work experience too. He was located at the instructors part of the camp, and they did have their own fire. The course students had a communal fire underneath the parachute.
Don't know if they changed it since then.
Anyway, have a great time mate - don't forget to take some pictures
Smoked sausage from Asda, and it dosen't need to be refrigerated. Smash, dried onions, dry cured bacon, tubes of primula cheese, boil in the bag rice, a tin of Stag chilli con carni, some bags of pasta in sauce, sachets of John West tuna, curry powder and bannok mix. Or, of course, you will probably have the opportunity of nipping to tesco during your week. I know we were able to order items from the Supermarket when I did my Fundamental course last year.
have a great time leon and post a few pictures.
