Peaks trip kit list + thoughts

Kit list from an overnight trip to the peaks with CR+SK.
Riding kit Helmet

Riding kit Tripod Didn't use.

Bike Tyre weld Didn't use, although nice to have
Bike Puncture repair kit + glue Didn't use.  Probably didn't need for relatively short trip - tyre weld alone would be OK
