Personally I use Oxford First Time throwover soft panniers, a cheap magnetic tankbag, and bungee net everything else over the top of the pillion seat. Tent is a Lichfield Apache 3 man which was 35 quid.

There are no right or wrong answers here, any panniers will do, any tent will do (Vangos and Tescos both in this thread), any sleeping bag will do (just wear more clothes if it's a cheapie), 12v socket can be installed in your dash or lying loose under the pillion seat.

You are going camping in Scotland in summer on a motorbike, not trekking on foot for a month across the Himalayas. You don't need the lightest this or the warmest that, or this brand name or that brand name.

The only important bit, is getting out there and doing it.
