You can find many different books & web sites that will offer lists of what to take with you on a C2C trip. If you included everything you would end up needing a trailer to carry it !

It is essential that you take clothing suitable for all elements; we specifically choose to ride during July thinking it would be dry. It rained EVERY day, luckily though we had waterproof clothing with us.

A bike lock is a must, spending lunch time drying off in a pub is much more relaxing knowing that your bike is safely locked up outside.

Listed below is what we took with us, our luggage was spread over 2 rear panniers, a rack and a rucksack.
