Hi all, as per title, I'm looking for a 70l rucksack that will be good at holding basically anything, I won't be using it much after this trip so I don't want to spend lots and lots, thanks :)

    You mean you want to ride with a 70l rucksack? My advice would be don't. Either fit some panniers or travel very light and use a big saddle bag or rackbag. I did LEJOG with a rackbag mounted on a seatpost rack and that worked well.
    More problems but still living....

    Sorry, I didn't make that clear. Not going to be cycling with it, just need recommendations for a bag for kit to go in.

    In that case how about one of these? I picked one up in the Blacks sale recently for £15, but even at full price it's a decent kit bag.

    Went ahead and got some equipment from Blacks. Quidco gave me 15% off and 6% cashback so £100 worth of equipment cost me around £70 :)

    Thanks again for recommendation.
