I've only just found this thread. Full of epic.
I'm planning a short trip round the Chilterns to test out the equipment and see whether I enjoy it.
Have no luggage bags , but will look to buy, only a front handlebar and seat post one I think (only got a full sus) at a later date. Any good bargains out there at the moment?
For now ill take a 30 litre rucksack.Think i'm just taking a lightweigh hammock and tarp,bivi, lamina sleeping bag, jet boil, jacket, beanie, boil bag supplies and jelly babies as well as normal bike equipment.
