Mess tins
Water bottle
Food
Where im 14 if i need to by anything it would need to be on a budget.
Thanks
Fleck

Puncture repair kit
first aid kit
map
compass

enjoy your ride mate, good to see someone getting out and about. Wish I could this weekend.

Pump, spare tube, bike specific multitool, bottle of lube, Puncture repair kit. waterpoofs, FAK. Anything else you need for your bike. Food, and water.

I'd pack spare inner tubes instead of a repair kit. Easier to put a new tube in whilst out and about, you can always patch the old one once you're back home.

Wool or fleece hat for when you stop for a break.
Wet wipes for dirty hands and those times when home just ain't close enough

Mobile phone
Puncture repair kit or a can of emergency tyre repair spray (small can and will get you home)
Mug
Head torch
At least two gas lighters, one in your bag, one in trouser pocket to light your stove (I'm sure your not stupid enough to be smoking).
Waterproof jacket and trousers.
Camera if your phone does not have one.

If your not staying out overnight it would be easier for you (in warmer weather) to take a Thermos flask with a hot drink and sandwiches/crisps/chocolate rather than cook, but cooking is a nice way of passing the time and chilling out.

Watch this and register your phone

Have fun and let us know how you get on.

Why not ditch the cooker & mess tin and take some home cut sandwiches and a little thermos flask.....

Just an idea

Read post #6 The lad is young and so long as he's careful its great that he makes himself hot nosh. Really, when you can cook, you can afford the indulgence of a good packed lunch

Thanks for the help guys! The cycle went well and the weather was great for once. Also Rik i probably wont need a lighter as my stove is self lighting (Saved up for the self lighting version!) but i normally carry one just i case it packs in working.

I did but not until I'd already posted....did um and ah about deleting it but decided I'd just leave it lol

And yer, it's nice to cook but easier to have a nice packed lunch and a warm drink from a thermos....was just another idea or option for him

Cheers,

Bam.

NEVER rely on electronic ignition on a stove, they fail on a regular basis, good to see you carry back up
