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.
Maybe worth a quick look at Alpkit. They've all sorts of bikepacking stuff
