  • Two friends and I are planning on Swansea -> Bangor along the Welsh coast this summer. As it's half term this week (I teach) I took the opportunity to do some touring prep. I cycled out to Box Hill (a first), up Leith hill then camped wild before heading back to south London in the morning. Great fun :)

    Bike 10kg
    Pack 9kg
    Tarp, sleeping bag, roll mat and very little else!

    Edit: Just adjusted my slightly wonky looking seat, fear not.

  • you've got a really big frame triangle - try attaching some bottle cages to the inside with hose clamps, that'll take some weight off the rear
