Food and drink

Our food and drink shop for the Beijing Rally is done and everything is packed and ready to go into Red when we launch.

Alex packing the food

Our shop has included our usual key meal items which are generally either pasta, rice or noodles. We can never have enough carbohydrates on a rally! However, even more essential is our 'snack box'. This has some of the usual suspects in terms of snacks such as nuts, custard, sweets, seasame snaps and the legendary granola bars but we've got some new additions for this rally which include dried seaweed and Belgian waffles.

The rally isn't necessarily renown for its healthy dietary benefits but we do try and pick up some local produce and meals when we're on the road, however when you are lost in the Gobi or just hacking it across Kazakhstan for days on end with not a village in sight, then our food and drink supplies keep us refuelled and energised.

After a few hours of packing, the final result is a set of neatly packed food boxes.

Food and drinks supply for the Beijing Rally

We'll be carrying our usual large supply of water which enables us to survive comfortably for up to a couple of weeks as well as Monster energy drink for the night drives, especially through Europe, and plenty of Lucozade for those times when water alone just isn't quite doing it for us!
