Weekender on this up in Yorkshire a couple weeks ago. Two nights bivvying with lots of hilly bridleway in between.
I'm still lamenting loss of the 'cross bike look' a little but with the big tyres this handled everything admirably.
The luggage worked nicely apart from one small disaster. I'd like side-loading cages but they're generally pretty ugly? Front bags have been replaced with something a little less shiny. The planetx cages on the fork were fine. The Carradice support gave up on the canal on the way home, just before getting back into Manchester - the bolt between the two plates that fit around the saddle rails just sheared clean in two.
