cargo nets, which ones are good?

Thats certainly something worth considering but will take up valuable space in the top box.

See, you know the answer already!

just take the essentials:

Wash bag and 1 pair of underkrackers

Dont worry, the things we will be taking will be scrutinised by me beforehand, so no crap being packed.
I have 2 tee shirts each coming to the ar from paul the 6th, so dont need to bring many of them

I've been to rallies (bulldog bash, farmyard) and packed nothing. Went to the Army surplus tent when I got there and got dressed for £20.

Only works if you don't mind dressing as a Norwegian commando for the weekend.

that helped secure that 20kg+ sack was a couple of quid from a bike shop - sure you can't go much wrong with a cargo net.
