Packing list

   The load is carried in two aluminium panniers made by the ex-Atlas Panniers. The one of them is 51 liters, while the other one is 48 liters. The tent, the sleeping bag and some other stuff are carried behind the seat, in a big backpack, which is very useful when we go trekking. The backpack is locked with a stainless steel net (pac-safe). Christina is using saddlebags, sponsored by Motoraid, and a trekking backpack, sponsored by Fifth Element.
