Planning on doing my first bikepacking trip next month with a mate, that trip will be roughly 500miles. In preparation I did my first 2 night 3 day trip, you certainly notice the difference the weight makes on inclines 😂. The trip was certainly worth while as we both learned stuff and certainly won’t be taking something if not needed, I think I took to many snacks with me considering we stopped at cafes and local shops for food, the bigger trip will probably have a shop or cafe on the route everyday so will carry enough to last 2 days only.
Forgot to say this trip was in the Galloway forest.

setup looks nice but i’d be careful with those panniers if you hit rough trails. they can sway a bit when loaded. not a deal breaker, just something to get used to. otherwise looks dialed
Looks like we’ve got the same bike! Only have taken mine on one week long tour so far, around the San Juan Islands in WA last year. Love this bike, first modern road bike I’ve had and it’s just so fun to ride, weighted or not.
