In your rucksack
Sleeping bag and sleeping sheet
Photocopy of passport, visa details, travel insurance, E111 card, bank cards, driving license, transport tickets, travellers cheque details, contact details. Also email yourself these details or email them to a close friend or relative so they have copies too.
All your clothes you take should be of limited value to you. They will get stained, torn, lost, stolen and you'll be sick of them if you're away for a long period of time, so you won't want to wear them ever again when you get home anyway!
