\"\"So our coeliac daughter has set off on the first of her Silver Duke of Edinburgh<\/a> expeditions. She has to do two, each involving 3 days walking and 2 nights camping: one practice, and one for real. <\/p>\n

I’ve been watching—with some trepidation—the flash floods, massive thunderstorms and golf-ball-sized hailstorms that much of the country has been dealing with recently. You just have to love England in the summer. I dropped her off this morning in the Peak District and drove off leaving her standing in the rain… <\/p>\n

She did the Bronze (two days) last year, and perhaps she’ll do Gold in the future (four days\/three sleeps). But whichever the level, the girls have to carry everything they’ll need, including tent, sleeping bag, trangia, fuel and food for the whole of the hike, and navigate for themselves between points.<\/p>\n

So what has she packed to eat? Always a key question for coeliacs, and I thought you might be interested to know what she’s chosen:<\/p>\n
