And if I remember from the aftermath thread, that was all 'road of niceness', 'peat bog of grippy boardwalkiness', 'exposed moor land of no headwindyness', 'steep hill of comfy chairliftuppyness', 'river of stout bridge crossingyness', 'loch of luxuryyachtness', etc.Mr Panda":8irk7fek said:kaiser":8irk7fek said:It is only 37odd miles remember

I have large and small roll top panniers (100% waterproof)and a spare rack if anyone wants to borrow as well as a medium carradice saddlebag. I can stick them in the post if thats easiest to get them to someone
For what your proposing I'd personally go for either 1 x large pannier or two small panniers. However a large waterproof stuff bag bungeed to the rack would probably be enough.
Be minimalist, think twice about every item, you'd be surprised how little you really need.
When I toured it was a case of if it couldnt go in 2 large panniers then it was too much, though that was cycle camping for at least a week.
What you wear to ride, rinsed out and dried at youth hostel for return leg and a set of civvies for Ullapool would be clothes contents. Only tools you need and essential spares. Why bring beer/food, surely that exists in Ullapool, trail rations only.
Ultimately everything you carry is weight to drag you down so dont bring it unless its essential
