Touring Equipment

I have for a long while read and listened to stories of people touring with absolute envy, I have made the decision I am going to go for 2 weeks next summer.
Now I know quite a few people on here have been touring, own touring bikes, or have some experience of self-sufficient, or mostly self-sufficient travelling on a bicycle, and I have managed to pick up a lot of info from reading through the various threads.
What really interests me though is what kit people have gone touring with:

• From the lightweight minimal approach (using accomodation en-route etc)
  
• To fully kitted out with tents, sleeping bags, cooking equipment etc etc.
  I think it'd be really cool if you could post a brief summary of your tour/touring experience, and what kit you used/carried on this trip, I think that could make this a useful resource for other people like myself, looking to do the same.
  
  

Post away!
