So after months of training, highs and lows, Den and I are almost ready for the off. I’ve packed, repacked and now worry I’ve forgotten something vital. I’ve been furiously making lists and have got two spreadsheets running. However, I’m trying not to take ever single item I can think of. YouTube videos on light weight touring have cut out a few things, but I keep adding more than I’m taking out.
My plan will be to sneak any heavy items in to Den’s panniers, therefore allowing me another unfair advantage. Den today kindly provided me with some map, which I joyfully received noting they were double sided. Few grams saved.
