Looks very purposeful, hope you have many adventures on it.
Is that a Stainless rack or Ti?  I've had both, they're a good investment. 
I's a shame Thorn didn't continue with the off road touring range, I know the Nomad's are good all rounders, maybe there was too much overlap.  It is a popular segment of the market, maybe they'll return to it.

I’m really happy with how it turned out with the upgrades and it rides brilliantly. It’s a stainless tubus rack, very nice!
