Packing Panniers for Bike touring.

Leaving for Portsmouth in a couple of hours for the 700 mile cycle to Santander in Northern Spain, and just finished packing the panniers, pumped the tyres up, fitted a front mudguard (back one doesn fit!), and took the bike for a spin round the block. It feels really wobbly with the front panniers, very strange to ride and quite a lot of flex in the frame and wheels - think I'll  have to take it easy on the mountain down hills this time and keep a careful eye on the road surfaces. eek!

This is how I have packed my Panniers. I've packed according to task, this time, to try and avoid unpacking the whole bike during the day at every food stop. I've packed all things for food prep and eating in the front panniers and all overnight stuff in the rear panniers. Any quick access during the day (rain jacket, fleece etc.) will be in a dry bag strapped to the rear rack. Ive got one other dry bag spare just for food en route.
