Retrobike Touring.

Hello, I was hoping that the good people in this thread might be able give me some tips.
Im going to be doing a week ish long cycle from Inverness to Oban in a few weeks (on a 1992 Marin Eldridge grade). Not camping but staying in bnbs etc .
This is the first time Iā€™ve done anything like this so any advice on either the bike or anything at all to be honest would be greatly appreciated, give me your best touring tips! I built the bike in a bit of a hurry last year to do the London to Brighton and Iā€™m not sure itā€™s set up ideally for something like this. What should I be aiming for drivetrain wise? Itā€™s currently 9spd, hollowtech bb and a deore triple 42,32,24 . Iā€™m also in the process of trying to make the bike as comfortable as possible (bad back) , and I still need to get panniers etc.
Iā€™m slightly worried that the weather is never actually going to improve this summer and we will be cycling through snow in Julyā€¦
