I guess it really boils down to whether you are actually physically knackered due to fitness or knackered due to lack of food to burn for energy.

If the first, I don't think whatever you eat is going to make a difference. However, if the second, then there are several things you can try. Try eating pasta at lunch, as it tends to have a slow release of it's energy during digestion (hence it is eaten by long distance runners et al), or consider taking specialised products. There is a huge market for energy foods, from the very quick release to the longer lasting stuff. Cyclists are a classic case for little gel packs, which they squeeze down on a regular basis. You could look into what they are eating. Finally, there is the old classic fallback.. the Kendal Mint Cake :twisted:

Chocolate probably tastes better and may give you a small boost, but nothing compared to modern specifically designed products. If you want chocolate for skiing, I like the Ritter bars, because they fit nicely in your pocket, and once abroad there is a massive range of flavours.

So I can officially tell people Chemmy is my friend :twisted:

The French Government have proposed some new laws for anyone driving in France. You will be required to carry two breath test kits, and any sat-nav which shows the positions of speed cameras will be deemed illegal. I understand that it should be OK to disable the function if your sat-nav has this ability.

This is not supposed to come into effect until the 1st of April, but it could catch any late trips at Easter if you are driving.

They are also going to be introducing 400 mew speed cameras, which unlike previous ones will not be advertised by warning signs.

So, a few more items to add to the in car travel kit. The breath test kits should cost around £2 each.

And direct from Chemmys facebook page..
