Hi All,
I'm new here so be gentle.
I'm doing my first tour this year (Aberdeen to Newcastle - Cliff and Castles) and I'm looking for some advice on luggage.
Salient Points:
- I have a rear rack that I use every day for work with 1 pannier
- We're hostelling, so not carrying camping gear
- I'd like to take a DSLR
- I don't like wearing a rucksack whilst cycling
- I've walked long distance before (coast to coast etc) so happy with minimising packing
My thoughts
- It seems the general trend for first timers is over-packing - which I'd like to avoid
- I reckon something like a pair of front carradice super c's mounted on the rear rack plus a bar bag of some kind in which to put the camera.
Any thoughts. advice, disagreement, discussion?
