Her e-mail response;

Dear Peter,

Thankyou for contacting us. How impressed are we by your challenge! 

We would love to supply some cakes, but would like to take you up on your offer of a mention and link on the blog etc..

We would be able to supply you with 2 boxes of 30 mini Cranberry and Pecan flapjacks - they're very yummy and will keep you fuelled on your way. 

If you could confirm the date you need them by and the address they should be sent to, I'll put that in hand.

With regards,

Lottie
