the best idea I have heard for locking up bike while camping is rigging it up to a rape alarm
tie cord to bike peg alarm pin into ground out of sight if someone pulls your bike it will go off
def invest in ortleib bags you will honestly not think they where pricey when you have just done a whole day riding in the rain and your tired and grumpy and realize your sleeping bag and clothes are soaked because your bags where not that water tight after all
I would not stress to much about distances some days you will go way over your quote some days you wont remember its not a race (that what I keep on having to tell myself when touring)
and you will find that as weeks fly past your mussles will get fitter and by end of trip what was a hard day will be a piece of piss
also I'm not sure if angus is a girls name but remember to take into account that 3-4 days in each month in my touring experience if your a female and you bleed all your mussles are going to get pissy at you and lazy when your trying to do 80km this tends to make you a bit slower which can frustrate your riding budy
oh and take nappy rash cream for your but sores :)
