With you on that one, Islandplodder. When doing the PW I really regretted my early start from Horton, breakfasting only on emergency rations; what should have been the finest day of the journey was not enjoyable at all because, being hungry, I was grumpy and full of gripes. Refuelling in Hawes magically set the world to rights again.
With that in mind, I'm currently plotting potential lunch or snack stops as well as accommodation for LEJOG.
