Hippy, whats credit card touring?
Scraggie, both times I have done trips, we have had a goal in mind and not much time to do it in. I would love to go 'touring' in the true sense of the word one day, when I would most definitely use panniers! Back packs are uncomfortable, you do sweat more, I dont buy into the instability thing because I was carrying next to nothing, but I still think it was the best choice for my trip.
Like I said, one day I will tour, perhaps through Sweden or somewhere else in Scandinavia where the days are very long, the scenery is beautiful and by law you can camp anywhere. I'm sure it will be a very different trip to when I did London-Rome and London-Verona!
