  • I suppose the answer is as much as possible!!

    A buddy and myself will be pitching at camp sites, he will be carrying the tent on a front rack. We plan to cycle for 5-7 hours depending on the day and route and pitch up at a camp site and either go in to village/town or walking in the evening.

    .......Possibly some other thing I have not considered yet, I will be laying everything out next weekend........

    In a handlebar bag will go phone, money, tools, passport. I will lay everything out and check through others list to make sure we have everything and will post up the final list with photos in a weeks time.

    I toured in France earlier this year with a 13L dry sack from alpkit.com, which are handy because the airlock extra has loops on the side to put the compression straps through before lashing it to the seatpost. To stop the whole thing thing swing from side to side I had a further compression strap looping through my saddle (a Spesh Romin) and the top of the dry sack, so it was lashed horizontally to the seatpost and vertically to the saddle. At this point it was pretty bloody stable. I could then lash further things to the top of this: towell and clothes if still wet, bivvi bag, food, wine bottles etc. I reckon you'll work out your set up after a couple of days.
