hey tip for you all, reduceing packing ? LOOK , travek packs toiletries , knickers , bra (girls only please) , t shirt (3) jeans(2) socks (4 pairs),other comfy shoes as we are strolling to the forest , a dress and shoesie for that 1 night
and then all the gadgets and trinkets you like in mini for i got a flat flask (non thermal) that will hold lotsa nice drinkies on the way , the rest? mini back pack will be my purse ( 5 liter) light weight,
i usually travel light but
also a laptop as i am media producer (site )now it seemed well clever, instead
to borrow a smart phone that does all that, i am still hunting down a sun visor screen (film) sooo excited i cant even think straight as per usual

eyeballs the pannier bag Madscot sent me with squinted eyes
nice bag .. it is a quarter of what i usually take for a week and snorts.... too funny x                                                                                                                                                                             

Kamikaze clothes

1 pair of socks, pants t shirt for each day.

End of each ride out shower and change into next days clothes and bin the socks and/or the pants.  It's a good way of getting rid of old underwear and you can only do some of it if you have only a few pairs needing the bin.

*JITTERS *
