Maybe you could be right I have it in a messy style anyow and it takes hours to do I need the gel though to make it stick up after the helmet has been and flatterened it. mmmm without the hairdryer I can get another pair of shoes in... How much weight can a bandit take?... Dont read this Cataraptor! its womens talk.                                                                                                                                                                               

I agree with Lou!  get a hat/scarf/bandana/hoody   I am the worst for using straighteners but at rallies/bike hols there's just no room for them, and people don't give a hoot anyway, but if you're adamant you can't do without them, i suggest some gas straighteners.   Although I haven't really done much more than 4 or 5 days on bikes hols, I've found the main things i need are:   toothbrush/toothpaste wipes deodorant hand towel comb mascara, lippy few t-shirts 2 pair of jeans (one on under my leathers ) 1 fleece undies/socks pair of croc type shoes or other soft shoes.   Thats about it really, apart from the obvious, money/cash card, keys   You will be surprised how little you need, of course if you're going to be away for longer you might need a few more clothes, or find a launderette or take some handwash and wash your clothes whenever you can.   It depends if you're camping or staying in hotels/B&B etc, but personally i have found, I take less each time I go away.                                                                                                                                                                               

Hehehe! OK then, I'll permit you the hair gel! 

Well worth popping into boots - they usually do some good deals on "travel" sized packs on various hair styling products/shampoos/shower gels etc. And what you don't use gets dumped before the journey home.

Lakeland does a pack of handwash sheets - well handy. They hardly take up any room/weight and they dissolve in water for washing your essentials - take 2 of each e.g. knicks/socks/tights/bras/t-shirts... then you've 1 to wear and 1 to wash & you're never without something clean to put on
