Having a rest day in Moffat on the way back from Skye to West Sussex.

I thought I would just mention my storage solution. I got a 30 litre Rab bag from Cotswold Outdoors. It fits perfectly under the Tmax seat and holds all my personal needs for a 10 day trip. Waterproofs, tools and spare gloves go in the topbox .

The Rab bag is expensive but so well made. Good long term investment.

You must be very good at packing and prioritisiation if you can pack everything for a 10 day trip in one bag! I use all the Tmax storage and more when I go on a 3 day trip!

I surprised myself too! It can be done.

Well, if you're like me you can make a pair of underpants last a whole year without changing them! When they start to get crispy just lever them off, bang em with a stick then turn them inside out. Put em back on & hey presto. Save's loads of space under the seat on the bike as you don't need spares!!

PS. Good tip about the bag. Enjoy your ride.
