shock pre-load for 2 up....please help!

Me and the missus are off to brighton camping on sat evening. We have allot of kit on the bike so im guessing i will need to pre load the shock in order to take the extra weight and ill have to adjust the chain too.

The pre-load is currently set on its 2nd softest setting. How many notches do I need to move it? Or how do I tell if it is adjusted correctly to compensate?

As for the chain do i simply load the beast up and then reajust the rear wheel so that the chain has the usual 2inch play etc.

Any help/advice would be great!

Cheers all
