Depends how light you want to pack. You could throw in a puncture repair kit and I like to carry a couple of small bottles of water (for drinking, but they can always be used as coolant or puncture location fluid in an emergency) and some snacks (cereal bars or whatever floats your boat). Got a spare visor? Spare gloves? Earplugs.
Looks like a great ride!

A few simple bike checks, oil & coolant levels. Tyre pressures & check for cuts, glass or sharp stones stuck in the rubber. Check all bulbs especially brake light as the cat only has one.

Not a mahoosive roll, but some duck tape, plus a few cable ties are always good to have in yer tool kit... plus some midgey repellent in case the buggers are out in force!
Hope the weather stays fine for you!

Re: First big run
So what bulb do i need to carry as a spare then, just the back one?
I assume I can pick one up at my local petrol station?

Re: First big run
I carry a spare headlight bulb in the toolkit - I once had one fail at about 70 mph on an unlit A road, at night...... that was sphincter-tightening and I didn't have a spare so I had to ride 10 miles home on main beam. If I'm going any distance (or to France) I carry a spare indicator and tail lamp too.
