In a Bizarre turn of events some guys from a local club are doing a 4 day trip to Amsterdam and back next week and one of the guys pulled out, so looks like I'm going to Holland. Nothing too serious, Monday Norfolk>Harwich, overnight ferry, Tuesday hook >Amsterdam, Tuesday night in Amsterdam B&B, Wednesday back to ferry, overnight ferry, Thursday ride back to Norfolk. About 300 miles total I think.
So I took @TM's advice and bought the restrap saddle bag and frame bag, the value is pretty good with the discount code and I couldn't find a bad word about it anywhere. I even phoned them and asked if I could get it by Friday and they said they'd put a rush on it for me! Fingers crossed. (Thanks again @r_mash for the discount code)
I've never actually done any 'proper' touring before really, only overnighters, anything I should definitely take/not take? It's probably not a bad first foray as it's pretty civilised with the distances and a proper bed each night!
