If you want to bring a chair and cook on three stoves I suspect you might need a big rear rack! Which is a good thing, smallish panniers bring a lot of capacity.
Jack the bike rack or that thing from carradice is nice for bags on bars too.
There are lowriders for suspension forks I think, if you want more than cages/small bags on your forks.
c.h.e.-
Thanks, they look pretty quick and easy to fit/remove too, and still might be able to thread tho my front bar cable mess.
Looks like similar for the back would work tho my monostay is way fatter than any handlebar adaptors they show, so may need a bodge to fit that at the back.
Would still prefer a rear rack that most of rack detaches with a clip, leaving only minimal clamp on frame. The less attachments I can break myself on in mtb stacks the better I think :)

Thanks a lot for this, I'll investigate those. Reckon that's frame and top tube bag and some band on bottle cage mounts sorted.
I'm used to riding all day with a 4-5kg ruksak so thought I might as well use the donkey rider as a beast of burden for some lugging, with the bladder and few things in backpack.
I'm only going to be exploring Wales, Scotland and Northern England, not crossing continents in a few days like you and @skinny so overheating isn't going to be a problem.
And ha I didn't mean mean a pointy loaf front rack for the aeroz, more that a pointy loaf would fit better in the gap between bar cables. Tho surely it is more aeroz even on a mtb. Has XavD and the Aerocoach crew not been 'dragged' into the backpacking realm yet for you country crushing riders?
I had thought rolls would be a problem up front as again the bulgy outty cables would be in the way, but yes as @cheekysnaker (thanks!) suggests the salsa or some other sort of bracket that pushes bracket out from bars 3-4 inches looks the way to go, so thanks for that, and i can srrap a drag bag/sleeping bag to that. Something like that might work on the rear monostay too.
And @skinny just thinking up to a week but more often 2-4 days. I like light but not slumming it in a ditch style, have decent tent, want at least 2 rings for cooking, thinking 2 of those firebox nanos as love the design and tiny pack size, probs ti for full tart light weight tart option. And just ordered a lofi cup cooker with powerbank fan to test for quick morning tea and variable heat and aa a 3rd ring option. (#gastrotwat) Have airmattress, chair , and down sleeping bag so got most of the camp kit.
I love good design so don't I'd paying for something genuinely great, but happy to bodge gaffer tape and ziptie if they the best solutioms.
That's given me more googling so thanks all.
