Luggage Transfer

The following companies offer a range of back-up services for walkers and cyclists following long distance walking trails or cycle routes in Britain, moving baggage door to door from hotels and B&Bs. Services generally run from April to October. They may also be able to help plan journeys and accommodation needs, as well as pick-ups en-route. Where they are willing to operate will likely vary depending on their location. What size vehicles/trailers they have in their fleet will vary and therefore favour either smaller or larger groups.
