The Minimalist View?
Right, the bike has been sourced with all the various hardware and add-ons, the wife convinced she wants to come on the RTW etc.
Now it comes to what kit to take? Now having traveled around Australia with only a sleeping bag and "swag" (bivvy bag) and stayed on bitumen I realise a RTW needs to be taken rather seriously, however, I want to keep the weight down for the obvious handling of the panzer (r1150gs + 2 panniers and top box).
The itinenary (sp?) is as follows, Africa (S-N)- Europe (up to North Cape) - UK - North America. Now getting to the question, is there a minimum list of essentials to take for such an adventure, ie clothing, camping & bike spares.
I realise that this question is like "how long is a piece of string?" but, it may give me some idea on what to start with and adjust the load to finally suit us.
Cheers
Macca
