Cheers Molly,

I never weighed my stuff but I assume that all my camping gear and sleeping stuff, plus camera and bits and bobs probably came in at around 20 to 25kg, plus the usual 5kg of water, 3kg of food and another 3lt of fuel and 500g of gas, etc. With regards to frame, etc, I just assumed that given it all weighed less than a pillion would, I shouldn't have been stressing the frame too much, though I did bottom out once or twice when fully loaded.
