Kit list so far

I've already got a number of the things I'll be needing but there's still a fair bit of stuff I still need to get, most importantly the bike!
So far I have - 


Tent
A Lightwave t0 trek. A very roomy 1-person tent or a cosy 2-person tent. Lightweight and loads of headroom for sitting up/getting changed. I've had it for a while now. My only problem with it is that it's an inner-pitch first (although it is possible to pack the tent down with the inner attached to the outer but it's a bit of a hassle). So if it's raining when you pitch the inner first it'll get wet. As it's not very waterproof water will get inside the tent. Aye, it doesn't take long to get the outer on top but my solution has more than one use. That solution is...

Tarp!
From DD hammocks in Edinburgh. A lightweight 3x3m tarp with loads of attachment points means it's big enough to put up and then pitch the tent underneath. With enough use and enough rain even the best tents will let water in so the tarp will prolong it's waterproofness. It also means I can keep the bike under the tarp to keep it dry - especially important with a Brooks saddle. I haven't yet had the chance to try it out, I'll post up my thoughts on it.

1L Trangia fuel bottle
I got a one litre bottle to carry the methylated spirit for my Trangia stove. I already have a 500ml bottle but with 1L I can go for longer without having to restock on meths. Also, meths is usually sold in 500ml bottles so if I were to buy a new bottle but still had say 250ml left with a 500ml fuel bottle I could only carry 500ml, whereas with the 1L I could take all 750ml. It'll live in a bottle cage on the downtube.
I'll be taking my Trangia because I love them. They're so reliable. Sure, there are lighter, smaller gas stoves out there, but the reliability of the Trangia stove is enough to merit the extra weight/space. Plus I just love them!

Vango 3/4 length self-inflating mat
Yet another item I've had for a while. I'm quite happy camping without a sleeping mat but obviously camping every night would be a bit uncomfortable without one. As a compromise I got the 3/4 length. It's more for insulation than comfort really.

Various dry-bags
As my cheap Oxford panniers aren't waterproof everything's going in a roll-top dry bag. I've got one for each bag plus a large one to house the tarp, tent, sleeping bag and mat which will go on top of the rear rack.

I can't think of any other important bits of kit I have at the moment. A few of the things I still need to get are:

Bike - Thinking of a Ridgeback World Voyage (although the Alfine-hubbed Journey would be fun) at the moment.
Front bags - Ortlieb of course
Racks - Probably Tubus racks. Definitely steel though.
Sleeping bag - If I could stretch to a down bag I would but a light-weight 2/3 season synthetic bag will do just fine.
Bar bag - Again, probably Ortlieb.
Pedals - Time, probably just the Aliums.
