What's in your bait box?
« Thread Started on Dec 22, 2011, 10:56pm »

May I just mention my view that Aldi Stollen should be present in every self-respecting bait-box?

For just £1.99 you get a lump the size and weight of a house-brick. It lasts forever and is packed with tasty nourishment!

Stock up after Christmas when Aldi are clearing their shelves!

Keep on trekkin' MartinJ

Thought it was cryptic for "what does one eat on the fells" or "what does one carry with them as emerg. rations" !!!!! Now I think it's something to do with fishing or should that be phishing ? Fish bait as emerg. rations sounds good as you would not be tempted to eat it before "it's sell by date"

No, no doggyfield. In these parts "yer bait" is what I imagine, in Co Tyrone, you will refer to as "one's packed lunch". Do you do Aldi in NI? Regards, MartinJ

Ham and cheese sarnies, mini pork pies, Marathon bars (or is it Sneaker bars these days ::)

) and a bag of Markies for Bross.

Look me up on www.artbyraybradshaw.com
I like to paint people enjoying the outdoors in and around the English Countryside. Mainly the Lakes and the Dales. More recently the urban scene is included. I would like to think that if AW was alive today, if he didn't appreciate my talent, he would at least get my humour.

Very tasty Ray. I may have a word with Mrs MartinJ and see if she might introduce some variety. On the other hand I think there's a lot to be said for the "standard bait". For example, I'd feel very odd indeed if there wasn't a banana for elevenses.

The next question is "nibble or gorge?" - lots of short refuelling stops or one big one?

Quite rightly so " one's packed lunch" ; packed by the butler, of course!!

Don't think we have an Aldi in NI (newly returned). Back-packed in the Lakes for 20yrs so have tried many combinations. Tuna and packet stuffing(uncooked !!) was one experiment but now rely on 4 slices of Tesco thin ham and 2 slices of plastic wrapped cheese between 2 wheaten pitta bread. Easily assembled from inside the sleeping bag in the morning after breakfast in bed.

mmmmm, peanut butter, cheese and jam on wholemeal bread, a banana and a pork pie, preferably a Melton Mowbray with pickle! That keeps the energy flowing on a long walk
