I've gone for panniers and a steel box at the woods (for the chainsaws) rather than towing a trailer, after reading about the extra weight and drag of a trailer. We can fit our safety clothing and supplies for the day in panniers, as longs as the heavy tools are at the wood already.
"Drive through the gears" was definitely the right choice, given the range of hills round here (once you get inland from Rye). I'll be changing to a smaller sprocket I think though, as I'm not using the low gears, but will wait a few weeks to give it a proper go o nthe standard one.
