The changes? We are no longer going to be camping. Which is why, in this picture, you see just four panniers (plus handle bar bags and a rack suitcase), rather than eight panniers - the other four would have had sleeping bags and lots of cooking stuff. And the tent would have gone on the back of one of our bikes, in its own nice little bag. Now James is feeling as if we are not taking *enough* stuff... but I'm sure he'll get over it. Especially once we add some food to the fourth, currently empty, pannier.
We've got 1.6kg of maps; 40 rolls of film (should last oh, half the trip?); and I have yet to decide which books to take. (With a bit of extra space, I now get to think more seriously about how *many* to take for the first part of the trip.)
We will stay in Sheffield with wonderful relatives for five nights, to start off - get over jetlag, shop for food, etc - and then we head towards York. We have accommodation booked up to May 20 at this stage.
Apparently this is real.

Five sleeps to go. Some changes.

That's much better and I'm gleeful about the books... just make sure you release them into a *nice* wild spot.
I would always leave them in *nice* spots.
=D
... though I still and probably will never understand how you can do that. What if they get wet? Or squished under a bus? Or captured by a dog-earer? Better not to pictures to prove the niceness.
