Most source rivers are currently at normal levels - they do rise quickly but obviously fall quickly too.

Re: New Front Harness / Longer Bag?
I will also suggest Lomo. Long, thin and very tough ... obviously a bit heavier though.

Move south a little here Shaf. Plenty of off road tracks over the mountains. Some may not be 100% legal RoW but they're well used by bikes.

Re: Cranktank 3 vs cages on fork + smartwater bottles
Keep with your single bottle and buy a filter. Also, consider carrying a bladder which can be filled up just prior to stopping for the night.

Lidl sometimes have lightweight half zip fleece tops. More mid-layer than outer / over layer. They're cheap and do the job.
