Taking my trailer. So any off's on the ride out, Mrs N8te rider could rescue the bike

Touch wood of course.

I'm looking forward to seeing your bike, looks delicious

Well, did a test pack on the bike!

Duffal bag on top has tent, sleeping bag, airbed, few random bits. Lots of room left.

Pannier are emtpy but will be filled with clothes/light goods. I'll wrap the duffal bag in black sacks and the panniers come with their own waterproof bags!

All secured, feels solid enough. It feels a lot heavier than I anticipated though. Hope it doesnt affect my riding too much, I'll just remember to take it super easy, as smooth as possible.

If you're getting two new tyres I suggest you try to get out and about as much as possibe this week to scrub them in a bit. Not essential, mind, 'cos the first bit of our journey will be boring straight lines, but it does help. Particularly if you're not used to a loaded bike.
