Bungee/strap options for attaching a dry bag...

Any recommendations for good cord/straps for attaching a dry bag to the top of a Carradice saddle bag?

Two recommendations from a strap-on fan:

1) Standard automotive bungee in a suitable length, costs only a quid or two in Halfords / Wilko / Poundland.

2) Adjustable webbing straps with plastic buckles that you can find in luggage shops or online. I use 2 for redundancy, to strap a drybag to the saddle rails.

Both have worked for me for long distances, you'll be surprised how well your luggage stays attached with just a simple strap in the right place, done up nice and tight.
