Is this over kill? will we end up donating the 3 litre pot to the locals to save us hauling it up a hill?
Any advice appreciated, thanks
I'd go with the guide - you'll really need the 3l pot. Three hungry bikers can eat a lot of food, 3L is just nothing - you'd need a 2l for just yourself.
I think you'd find the frying pan and teapot in the gourmet to be less useful. Also the 3l could be used for frying. I'd leave behind the 1l at home if you want to reduce load.
BTW thats a good price in that link.
Here's an alternative - keep the 2 big (copper coated bottom,SS) pots and lid/f pan, pitch the 1l, save 20 bucks.

If you find yourself mostly "eating out", which is not uncommon overseas, ship the cook gear home, or better yet trade it for food etc.
