I looked at quite a few kit lists published on other cyclist travellers' blogs and used their experience (or apparent lack off), to come up with something suitable for my needs and tastes. I've been quite thorough (as you'll see), but I feel that's the only way I can get a estimate that's not woefully short of the actual total. If I've got a good idea of the kit item I'm purchasing, or I already have it, I've indicated that as well.
Now it's all listed, the total weight is sizable (and over ½ my body-weight!), but I've read about people rightly and wrongly taking on heavier loads than this! No doubt I'll refine this list countless times over the coming months, but to me, it's a good start and has been a worthwhile exercise.
