Touring - Biking and Hiking

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
Last winter I bought a Specialized Hardrock for trail and winter riding/commuting. I also do a lot of hillwalking and intend using this bike for the long trail into some of the more remote hills. For this I will probably carry full camping gear for overnighters. The weight of my pack is usually around 12 - 15kg.
Can anyone recommend a good rack and pannier combination, bearing in mind I'm based in the UK.

For Panniers
Ortleib are the best waterproof models and Altura make decent copycats.
