2026 Great South West Walk
Food for GSWW
Yesterday afternoon was spent putting my food together for my upcoming trip on the Great South West Walk. I’ve done this enough times now that I’ve gotten reasonably quick in doing it and it only took me just a couple of hours in total given I had everything I needed.
I’m carrying food for the entire trip (minus town days) and while I have enough food to keep me happy, unlike previous trips where I come home with leftovers, this time that won’t be the case.
Over the past few years I have managed to work out my eating patterns and I’m averaging 550 grams (dry weight) of food for each day. I’ve worked this out over the years that it’s pretty much impossible to consume the amount of calories I burn on a daily basis and when I’m in full-on long distance hiking mode, I can burn up to 8,000+ calories a day on my really big days. This trip is nowhere near that extreme but I still do expect to loose about 6-7kg over the duration of the trip.
