3.Old inner tube cut to the size of cable ties as a cable tie storage pocket A pocket for cable ties? Not heard of that one before  Always pack a basic first aid kit, you never know what might happen to you or who you stumble across  Some spare clothing, a shower proof jacket/gilet a camera for the pics that make this forum great  O and don't forget that old banana at the bottom of the bag  |

Seems like a pretty decent list apart from mobile phone, ID and some cash Take more than one innertube if you have space. Every now and then check your pump works before going out because it's no use having 3 tubes if you can't pump them up :: |
