For proper trips get panniers, for commuting and day trips use a tank bag. Tanks bags can also be useful to support a little weight on long journies.
no as you know i will be going to bournemouth so looks like panniers then.

Seconded, and if you have problems with it squirming around you can just wear it if needs be

Yeah I've done this with know aero back pack, and tested it up to 115mph (on a private road, in another country...) and in a heavy rain storm (not at the same time).

I was wondering myself, perhaps due to getting a leg over the top. If that's the case then it doesn't matter, fully loaded even I can't get my leg over the top of the luggage.
