Equipment & Luggage
Do you carry/move our luggage between each overnight stop?
If you book the luggage transport option then we will move 1 piece of luggage per person, usually up to 18 Kilos in weight, transported between your B&B’s as part of this price. On some routes the weight limit may be less, but we will advise you if this is the case. If you leave your luggage at your accommodation in the morning, it will be waiting for you on arrival at the B&B that evening. Any extra bags can be transported (at an additional charge) as long as they are pre-booked.
We also offer a storage service for extra luggage not needing to be transported for this holiday. Please contact us for a quotation.
I’m afraid we do not offer a luggage service on its own.
What do I have to carry?
If you are having your luggage transported, then all you need to carry is a small day sack to hold your waterproofs, personal items, packed lunch, map, guidebook and camera.
What do I need to bring?
We have produced a list of items to bring. We like to advise our clients to always be prepared for all weathers, at all times of year.

How do I get to the start of the holiday and back from the end?
We will provide you with information and guidance on how to get to the start of your holiday, but you will need to make the actual arrangements yourself.
