Don't be a softie - do that route in winter
The Adventurerider website is brilliant for that sort of info, as I gather you've already found out. (and bought their magazine recently, only to find a certain John Fenna appearing on virtually every page!)
For cooking, might be worth looking for an Optimus 8/8R. For decades it was the biker's cooker of choice for its compactness, simplicity and reliability, plus ability to refill with petrol from the bike tank! And I remember well rows of aircooled beemers in winter with them under their sumps, trying to thin out the oil sufficiently to allow the engine to turn over on frosty mornings
