Got home from a bikepacking trip from London to Copenhagen yesterday. Absolutely bloody brilliant trip - already planning the next one.
I chose bikepacking as I wanted to be as light as I could, and couldn't afford a touring bike anyway...so I used my commuter. Total cost of extra kit for the bike was around £100, including Alpkit bags, iphone mount for navigation and a basic bike computer.
It took 11 days to get there, of which 8 were on the road. Total distance 1075km. Daily distances ranged from 90 to 185km.
I had 2 days off in Amsterdam and 1 in Hamburg, staying at friends' houses in both. The rest of the time I was in cheap hotels.
Totally lucked out on the weather - no rain at all apart from the rest day in Hamburg!
