OK so you've seen the film now read the novel.
I typed up my HT560 experience over a couple of train journeys so it is quite long I'm afraid. Hopefully you'll find it reasonably interesting and empathise with some of the mistakes/incompetence/feelings/highs/lows and general ace-ness of bikepacking contained within.

I'm going to update it with a kitlist shortly.

That was a good read Dave esp the fireworks display in your shorts
