Yes, I agree with Valve Bounce on a light meal.. but I use Minties (alternating with choc coated peanuts) to while away the hours...
Boredom is the problem. Lots of it when you head across the plains west of the great divide... constantly changing the ventilation system, moving about in the seat, little things that help keep one awake.
Strangely, I don't have a radio in my car (bought it from some people who are Brethren, they don't ever listen to radio or watch TV), so that's no help.
McDonalds have those 30c cones, too...
I do carry food and lollies, always. Crisps, maybe peanuts, can keep on nibbling when I want.
Picking up hitch-hikers is a good way of staying awake, too... or maybe taking someone with you. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with a monthly 1200km each way drive on my own lately, while other 200 to 400km trips are not unusual.
Just a shame we can't put the old right boot down and get on with the job of getting there...
