Kit List

Everyone with a LEJOG blog seems to publish a kit list, and I suppose it is useful for those that follow. This list is provisional because I have not tried packing yet and I suspect when I realise how much this lot weighs I will edit it down.

Bike:
Specialized Tricross Sport
Topeak rear rack
Altura Dryline 56 Rear Panniers
Topeak T-bar (provides extra mounting space for GPS and light)
Front rack (if I can find one to fit the bike)
Altura Arran 16 Front Panniers (not waterproof, but I will use for tools, tyres, tubes, etc.)
5 spare inner tubes
1 spare tyre (folding)
Tools and multi-tools including a chain splitter and a good set of Allen Keys
Puncture repair kit
Spare chain
Spare brake blocks
Spare batteries
Blackburn mirror
Topeak Panoram Computer wired fitting (because the wireless one won't work with the Satmap on the bike!)

3x dhb Base Layer (excellent value this dhb clothing)
