Second hand gas fridge will solve all your problems. Sausages, bacon, mince etc will all have long enough dates for a week. A 3.5kg gas bottle will easily run it all week. Will also keep butter, packet meats or as said several takeaway boxes with pre cooked meals taken frozen will last the week in the fridge.

I always used to take a a few tins or Fray Bentos stewed steak. Add some onion and a curry mix or, my preferred choice, was to take jars of mixed veg (Potatoe, carrots beans, etc) and just heat them up together as a great steak casserole. Tins of hot dog sausages and some Big soups and you will never go hungry..lol

Beef inflation.... our fave fillet steaks from Tesco have gone from 8 quid at end of last year to £11.20. Went up a pound in one week 2 weeks ago.

did this many times in the 90's a week on my own in france on public waters or the river. Lived on pasta, tuna, crackers, jam, packet rice, a very boring diet but it was the only way to do it without leaving the tackle which i was not prepared to do

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
