If you are not using pannoers -then use a Carradice Super Camper Saddlebag. that's their biggest one
Fit a rack or use one of the Carracdice supports for the saddle bag . Don't just hang it off the saddle. You can can also strap items to the saddle bag, usually stuff like a waterproof. The
A bar bag at the front - Carradice to match- this can be used for maps, valuable etc
Might be worth using a camel back for drinks- if you don't have bottle cages.
Lights- either battery ones or a hub powered dynamo.
Mudguards, full or otherwise
If you are going to take a tent, then you will really need panniers and then perhaps a different bike.
