I'm in North Wales too! Best place on earth !!!
When I go on foreign trips my concern is about how much gear I am allowed to take on a plane which I guess is loads compared to travelling on a bike although I have no experience of the latter. Well padded for protection for starters but then what about storage, are you going to rely on memory cards or do you plan taking a laptop , hard drive etc etc? What about a tripod, chargers, socket banks? I usually take 10 kgs of hand luggage all of which is electrical gear and the more robust stuff is in the hold allowance.
Take care on the roads on your bike though, I'm sure you are more than aware what the average age of a bike fatality is in North Wales....and there are many of them too as it's a favoured day's outing from England to get out on the country roads we have here.
