Unhappy Run through my "must take" list - trip pending

Hi

Sorry about this, usual kind of repetitive topic I'm afraid.

My 2 week trip is as of yet, undefined but instead of 'doing' just france, I'm thinking of taking in a jaunt to the czech republic, slovakia, slovenia, austria (pending a check on necessary visa's etc) as well as the usual france, italy etc . Can you cast your eyes over my itinerary to see if I have forgotten anything or any recommendations...

Thanks

V5
Passport
Insurance Documents
MOT paper
Drivers License (with copies of all)
Hi vis jacket
Puncture repair kit
Mobile with spare, charged battery
Rather generous toolkit to carry out most maintenance
Chain Lube
Extra Bungee & Cargo Net
Cable ties
Cash
Credit Card (mastercard)
Debit card (fat load of good a maestro usually is)
Clothing (etc)
Winter/Summer gloves
1 piece weather proof suit
Change of bulbs
Change of fuses
Electrical tape
EU Breakdown cover
Insurance cover & phone numbers (&int dialling codes)
Blue healthcare card thingy (E111? I Think it's that)

I have got to grind down my subframe to fit my givi rack tomorrow (today wasted!!!) as one suzuki weld is particularly messy and the securing bolt bit won't go in. I also need a new set of tyres, fit my new C&S, fit my fender extender, change the coolant, buy a new clutch cable, get it's MOT and tax it all before the end of next weekend. Nothing like last minute preperation.

I'm replacing the C&S before I go thankfully, not sure how much is left to be honest but want to be sure.

Camera, I'll borrow one! Maps, perhaps I can borrow someones GPS in time, hmmm....
