Hi all here is a couple of tips I got from the trip, there not in order of priority but just as I record them. This could be usefull for newcomers and experienced tourers.
1. Have a 2 man tent - From overall the team.
2. When pictcing your tent be prepared for anything -
Lots of water - UFODO
Skelms - Digital Dan , Gideon , UFODO "This also goes with having a bigger tent, cause everthing need to be inside.
3. Pack something waterproof - Gideon , Digital Dan
4. When you need to pack n knertsy, get a gifcan "Plastic" - Excaliber, Leo
5. Something for Dinner, 2min Noodles and Can's - Digital Dan and KrazyEyes
6. Matrass self inflated ones is great but just before you close the valve blow some exstra air into it - Krazy Eyes
7. Have all the tools there its more importand than clothes - The TEAM
8. Headlamps for Nighttime - The Team
9. See if you can have only one bag if you dont have panniers - Gideon
10. Use TopoGraphic Map's its more fun - Gideon (CAUSE I SAY SO)
11. Always pack something warm - The TEAM
12. Remember some exstra shoes for when you camp - Gideon
13. Cable ties - The TEAM
14. Ducttape - Gideon
15. Pack things you want to get to first close, Ducttape , headlamp, cable ties - Gideon
16. Biltong - The TEAM
17. Have lots of rechargable batteries - Gideon
18. Get a lighter socket on the bike if possible - UFODO
19. Stofies - Go with the headpiece one and with the valve so it can seal after use - Digital Dan
20. When turning around to see where your friends are , dont loose focus and drop your bike - Gideon (2) UFODO (1)
If there is any other advice for campers on packing and tips for touring please advice.
