regarding compasses, yes they are essential, and I know these things are a bit anti, but a few people have recommended them for touring...
And here's the Boardman in light touring mode, with some panniers I found in the cupboard under the stairs! Don't seem great but will do until I come to doing some serious travelling... It's such a pleasant bike to ride, just bowls along tarmac between 20-25mph with barely any effort.... Rando cross tyres were alright on the off road as well as rolling alright and being comfortable on the road. Got a thorn puncture though and a large knick from some glass, pretty unimpressed with that! Think I will be going down the marathon plus route when it comes to building the touring bike.
(those looking at the seatpost thinking i need an inline one, yes it came yesterday waiting to be fitted...)
Possibly my favourite scoblism so far, needs a meme...
