I’ll calculate you will need about 5ltr per day it’s surprising how much water you use cooking and drinking tea,coffee,squash etc

If the weather's hot you'll need more than 16 lts of water. Unless you're taking cans of drink and the water is just for cooking.

12v coolbox for perishables, 200w solar panel and a decent powerbank, take more water than you think you'll need. Things like wraps last longer than bread, tins of stewed steak/ curry for the back end of the trip, tins of fruit

I can highly recommend Heinz Big Soaps 😋 I have them all the time, and if you really want a filling meal, 2 tins and a packet of ramen noodles (the soft ones vacuum packed) stirred in, quick to cook and very filling 👊🏻

I appreciate the suggestions,
I didn't think of corned beef.
And yes water 💦, at least 16 litres minimum.
Cheers

Pasta, packet noodle, tins of corned beef, potatoes, mushrooms, root vegetables
Cheese, bread will be fine as its kept out of the sun.

Have you got space for 2 coolboxes? If you have put some ice and fresh/frozen food in it and not touch it until later in the week?

I would also consider taking extra food that is easy to cook
Rice,pasta, etc with some sauces,even tinned soup etc as if your fresh food should start to spoil/smell awful least you have something to eat 👍

 to quite a few of your comments.
Our 1st trip in your scenario, never mind someone nicking the gear we got so badly lost around Paris using paper maps we probably orbited the inner periphique at least 3 times. We got to the lake so traumatised we didn't leave it all week, in case we couldn't find our way back. Grub was instant noodles, water, lake water through a ceramic filter, and a bottle of whisky. Fond memories

Could you buy or borrow another cool box, then fill it with frozen raw foods (mince, chopped onion, burgers, chicken, sausages, loaf of bread, etc) and don't open until later in your trip?
Plus eggs, pot noodles/Maggi/instant Mac n cheese you'd be golden 👍

If you've got a decent coolbox there really is no need to go for awful tinned food. If packed properly and not constantly opened you can keep stuff frozen for a good 5 days, then you've still got a day to eat whatever you take, and then just have a pasta dish with a pot of dolmio or similar for the last day

I think it's going to be Tinned grub!
I might take a ginster pasty, they last for 20 years plus.
If I wrap them in foil, put amongst the Bbq coals I can reheat it, tinned spuds, carrots and gravy I think I'll survive 😂
Thanks for the suggestions
Cheers
Mike
