I did Liverpool Leeds with panniers on the back with overnight stuff (stayed in Liverpool night before) and tools, supplies etc. Probably less than 10 kg and initially made the bike feel like a barge... when I get round to doing some more serious touring I'll be looking to balance about 30-40% of weight carried at the front and the rest at the back.
