Walking Holiday Baggage Service

Move My Bags during my Walking Holiday

Walking.Holiday Baggage Service

 

There’s no need to carry a heavy pack during the day. Our Walking.Holiday baggage service takes the weight off your shoulders so that you can enjoy the walk so much more and still look fabulous in the evenings.  We can move your bags each day as you walk.

Trails we support:

Thames Path

The Ridgeway

Camino Ingles/St James’ Way

If planning any other walks in the south of England, please contact us as we may be able to help you.

We can move your luggage even if you are not booking accommodation through us. Just email us your itinerary and we will do the rest. Bags can be picked up and dropped off from anywhere reasonably close to the trail. Our season runs from Easter Monday to the end of October.

What you should know

Bags are picked up from 9am and are dropped off before 4pm

We send you text messages once the bags are picked up and again when dropped off. That gives you peace of mind whilst walking.

We charge £25 for one bag and £30 for two bags. This is per move. Bags should be no more than 20kg. For larger groups, additional bags are charged at £5 per bag. There is an additional booking fee of £12.50 regardless of duration or bags.

Bag transfers on the Camino Ingles/St James’ Way come at a higher price of £30 for the first bag and £10 for each additional bag. Special prices apply for groups of 5 or more.

We can also pick up and drop off on travel days. For instance, if you were to arrive in Oxford and plan to walk that day, we will meet you to collect your bags and then deliver it to your hotel later that day. Likewise we can deliver your bags to you in person at a station. There is an additional charge  equivalent to one transfer for this “meet and greet” service.

If you need anything extra dropping off with your bags (batteries, phone charger, spare socks, blister pack), just let us know.  We are here to help!

London (Thames Path only):

We do pick up and drop off in London. However, traffic moves so slowly here that we have to charge more to cover our time and fuel. Additionally, we incur local government fees for driving in London. We therefore charge an additional £15 for the first bag and a further £5 for each additional bag.  For tariff purposes, London starts immediately downstream of Kew and extends all the way to the Thames Barrier.   

We no longer take deposits. But we ask for payment in full one month before the start of your walk.  Note that, although we are members of ABTOT,  there is no financial protection for this service.

I just wanted to say thank you very much for your very efficient bag transfer service when I walked the ridgeway recently. I had a wonderful walk and knowing my bag was in the right place via your text messages was very reassuring.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for arranging our bags to be moved. All very smooth. We particularly liked the text each day advising that our bags had been delivered. A great touch.

Thanks again Richard for all your help on our walking trip. Yesterday was the best day of all – magnificent neolithic sites and lovely weather.
KH, SurreyApril 2023
Just a short note to thank you so much for the excellent service you provided with our baggage transfers over the last week. Everything worked like clockwork and the text advices on each day, confirming that our bags had been delivered was a really useful piece of additional information. If you would like me to leave a review, I will be delighted to do so. Thanks again to you and your team.

Just wanted to say thank you for the fast and efficient transfer of our luggage last week. And for the lifts of course! Alice's feet recovered after a couple of days rest and intensive foot care and we were back on the trail on Thursday and managed to complete the final 3 days. We will be back to complete the missing two days at some point so will be contacting you again in the not too distant future.

Thank you Richard for the excellent service you recently provided for luggage transfer along the 3 day section of the Ridgeway - we especially appreciated the updating messages and the prompt delivery.

Thanks for this. Great service.
WL, BerksJuly 2023
Just to say a huge thank you for your brilliant service on the Ridgeway, not only in transporting our luggage but for all the little extras such as giving us a lift occasionally to the start of our walk and collecting my wallet when I left it at the Royal Oak. We chose you because of your competitive rates and would have no hesitation in recommending you to others doing this fantastic hike along one of the most beautiful trails in Britain.
