Well, the bags have been re-packed. Small rackpack with side panniers (easier to store the wet gear) in favour of heavier rackpack with side panniers (which wouldn't have been needed). My panniers (drop bag), are either too small or too big, so using one of my kids small rucksacks (I'm sure you couldn't fit more than five 2L bottles in it), so I hope Andy doesn't object.
Speedy recovery, veloboy. Do stitches=free drinks down the pub?
Hope to see someone at 'spoons tonight!
