Were gonna need a bigger bike
Over the last couple of days Steve and I have been gathering together all the bits we were going to take with us. This included me buying some extra spares like a spare bike chain and spare brake cables. So I could keep track of it all I was laying it all out. Last night I had everything I was going to take, The sheer volume of "stuff" was intimidating.
I slowly started planning the packing. One thought I had come up with was that I wanted to make sure everything I needed when we arrived at a campsite for the night was in one pannier and anything else was in the other. This meant things like sleeping bag, sleeping mat, fresh clothes and wash kit all in one pannier. This way in the worst conditions I would only have to worry about getting that one pannier into the tent and I could stay in there in the dry. Also anything I would need quick access to throughout the day would go in my backpack. After some packing and repacking I had my backpack and 2 panniers loaded up.
