The Road goes ever on and on; Down from the door where it began;
Now far ahead the Road has gone; And I must follow, if I can;
Pursuing it with eager feet; Until it joins some larger way;
Where many paths and errands met; And whither then? I cannot say.
[JRR Tolkien, Lord of the Rings]

    Eeek! I hope that neither of the dehydrators takes umbridge at the quantities and gives up the ghost. Even though we've only got 30 more meals to go, I couldn't contemplate the pain of going back to only one machine when working through these quantities!

    Oh by eck, just seeing this image brings back fond memories for me. I have a simliar image from my trip! My house was full of the smell of food for months during our mammoth dehydrating of 153 meals. Great fun!?

    I sure you may have tried this, but I found dehydrated rice pudding a real luxury after a long day in the hills. I found it to dehydrate/rehydrate well. Just a thought?

    153?! Blimey! How many can you do at a time?

    Last time around we did 100 meals, with only the capacity to dry 3 at a time. Given that we didn't start until just over 2 months before, that was quite a challenge.

    There's nothing quite like waking up in the morning to a house smelling quite thoroughly of curry/chilli/tomatoey-herbs, is there?

    I've only ventured as far as cooking main courses and accompanying staples thus far. Based on experience with risotto, I can see that rice pudding would work quite well - if I find the time, I might just give that a go. Thanks for the tip.

    I have five trays for my Stockli dehydrator. I think it came with three and I bought two extra to speed things up a bit! All from backpackinglight.co.uk.

    Getting near to your start? Looking forward to following your progress! Will you be blogging all the way?

    Three weeks and a day before we set off down to Kent . We will be blogging all of the way, although being limited to one telephone network this time (I used a Pocketmail last time, which I could use with any phone), I anticipate that some posts will be held up pending a decent signal.
