  • There's two type of touring, one is light touring (otherwise known as credit card touring), and the other is your bog standard garden touring.

    The light touring is when you stay at hostel/B&B or even hotel, with just a change of clothes, some snack, some spare part, tools, etc.

    The other is pretty much what you know, camping, carrying everything you need (stove, sleeping bag, first aids, food, torch, etc.).

    Lightweight camping/touring is clearly possible, it is how I tour.Currently I am in Barrow in Furness having cycled here from Bournemouth. I use a fixer for all of my touring,so kit is as light as I can afford.
