touring trial run

[lip03]

hey looking to do a little touring, maybe just a few nights in late summer to get the hangs of packing my bike ect. having never done cycle camping but camped quite a lot in the past I would really appreciate some help on what gear to take that is completely necessary and what I wont need to save over packing the bike and being too heavy! also if anyone knows of websites where you can find free campsites ect that would be a great help!! I look forward to hearing from you all and gaining some knowledge from "the experts"

also I like to see pictures! so any pics of your bikes packed for a tour or your tent set up would be great!

regards phill
