And so little luggage..... for two of you.....how do you do it?
Credit card
Plus…..
Clothes, shoes, etc in a pannier each in inner bags. Enough for 5-7 days. So not a lot but I still overpacked. Merino and/or bamboo clothing is your non smelly friend here. If we weren’t camping that would have just about it.
One pannier top bag has small stove, small pot, collapsible cups& plates, knifes and small wood board for cutting on, coffee and some emergency food (Biltong and energy bars). No proper cooking ability just brews and warm up tins of stuff or picnic food.
Other pannier top bag has a bikepacking tent in it. 3-man, 30cm pole sections (very short). Ultra lightweight and tiny pack but very very expensive. Only any use in half decent weather.
Top box: sleep mat (I got a bargain Ex display ultralight Exped double Synmat for £40 instead of near £400 oh happy days. Packs up smaller than a single Exped synmat 7), duvet& sheet, inflatable pillows, Helinox chairs, beach towels, small rucksack, maps. Waterproofs in bag on top of lid.
Tank bag: sunglasses, camera, battery packs on charge, plus other odds and sods. Less than half full so Picnic food when we buy it goes in the expanded bag.
Tools under the seat and in the toolbox on the inside of a pannier frame.
It was getting tent and the mat that freed up the space that enabled this to become a partly camping trip. Very basic but plenty comfortable as long it was dry. Although the tent did survive a mega overnight thunderstorm in Croatia just fine.
