  I love my Nelson longflap. Used with qr expedition bagman it’s now my main bag for long tours with bar bag and tent strapped to mini front rack. Here it is on last years NZ trip. So much easier than panniers, I think it looks better too!

• Lightweight tent recommendations?

  Wild Country (the cheap offshoot of Terra Nova) are fairly decent. I've had a Hoolie 2 for about 5 years, used fairly frequently and it's still going strong. They do a couple of big stand up in tents

  Also FS Tubus Fly stainless, used, good condition sold, collected N7 or free delivery local ish. I cycle between N7 and Deptford a couple of times a week for work so happy to drop off if you’re roughly on the way.
