Having only recently acquired scales, I was curious to see how much all this luggage does actually weigh.

• Back right pannier (tent and sleeping): 4.7 kg
• Back left pannier (clothes, laptop): 5.4 kg
• Front right pannier (tools/stove/hardware): 4.3 kg
• Front left pannier (food, cookset, elecrics): 3.6 kg
• Bar bag: ~2 kg

So that's a total of 20kg exactly. Is this a lot? Not sure. Only thing I'm certain of is it's significantly less than previous trips.

Now I'll tell you what's not significantly less than previous trips ... the heaviest, most onerous baggage of all...

Jon AylingTo Mike Ayling191cm (or 6'3" as absurdly I still tend to think of my weight in kg but my height in feet and inches). So not a bad weight really! - it was more a shock just to see it creep up over the last couple of years...

That's 88.5 kg. This is mostly of academic interest as I will be subtracting from this figure all the measured calories I burn, and thereby calculating how much I've ingested in delicious racciones. Let's hope the number doesn't go up...
