In 1908, eleven years after carrying out and writing his book about the world's first portable cycle-camping trip, TH Holding wrote The Camper's Handbook.
It's a massive 400 pages of very comprehensive detail on every aspect of camping, on which he had become a notable expert.
The section on cycle-camping includes this packing list.... all of which can fit, amazingly, in one large handlebar bag which was Holding's favoured means of carrying equipment.
I love seeing what things were considered essential then, and which we would still include today!
