Abraxix92 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Repacked (if you can call it that) decided to empty rucksack into the waterproof bag, little more space, put empty rucksack on top the waterproof one now, it's empty but on way home i suspect it will be carry crap.

RantMachine Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Colour me impressed Cat, that's some insane packing I really need to start packing tonight, I've written a list and that's it... Last year I sorted everything several days in advance and even did I trial pack! What has become of my organisational skills...Got my GPS ready though; bit of laminated paper with road names to stick to the inside of the screen Edit:Hope the rain over there is nothing like the rain over here!

Ricky Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hope the rain over there is nothing like the rain over here! Don't think any of us wants to wake up to a submerged bike!

RantMachine Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Nearly Cat! 3 out of 4 brackets on each now, they hold themselves in place pretty well but they're a bugger to detach from the bike. Going to try to attach the last two brackets tonight, have to be careful that I don't stick them in a place that obstructs the fiddly process of removing them Hopefully won't take long to pack after that, just work my way down the list throwing things into panniers and top box then be on my way. No messing with bungees for me! This way has been so much easier Ricky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecat Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Ollie, use bin liners or shopping bags inside them , then you can just remove the gear and leave the panniers attached...way easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
