Baggage Transfer Service For Walkers

Happy Bank Holiday Weekend 😁

We received some fantastic photos 📸 and a fabulous review 🤩 today:'Previously, we have carried all our gear on long-distance-path walks. For Offa's Dyke Path we decided to use WalkLite. What a difference it made! We could properly enjoy the walk, the scenery, the chats along the way. Easier on our feet and backs. And we still had energy to appreciate each day's destination. Tracy provided a friendly and efficient service - a view shared by our accommodation providers along the route.'Jane, Philip & TristanMay 2025#baggagetransfer🎒 #offasdykepath👣#customerreviews🤩 #customerphotos📸#greatfeedback #bankholidayweekend ...

Our final post for our charity walker Stephen as he reaches the halfway point in Knighton and the excellent @silversherpatours.uk take over tomorrow 🎒🚙

Another set of fabulous photos 📸 with some excerpts from Stephen's blog and a review of our service - thank you, Stephen 😊'As advertised in my guide book, it was a pleasant walk and it was hilly, with three notable hills and descents....On Bradnor Hill, we passed Kington Golf Club on Bradnor Hill and the club is one of England's highest, rising to 1284 ft (390m). After Bradnor Hill, Offa's Dyke made a really obvious appearance.' 'I really liked this sign, but I don't recall it from my days of studying the Highway Code.' 'Today is the last day my bag will be moved by Tracy at Walklite.  The service has been excellent and her help and guidance during the planning phase was exceptional.  If anyone is considering following in my footsteps, then using Walklite will make life easier.'We wish Stephen all the very best as he continues his walk and hope he raises some more funds for his charity - England and Wales Mountain Rescue - here is the Just Giving link if you would like to donate:  https://www.justgiving.com/page/stephen-russell-offas-dyke#baggagetransfer🎒#offasdykepath👣 #charitywalk #reachedthemidstage #raisingmoneyforagoodcause #englandandwalesmountainrescue #customerfeedback ...

Our charity walker Stephen has reached Kington 😀🥾

Some more photos and blog from today's walk:'I have to say that I think today was my hardest day so far and due to a combination of factors: multiple steepish and long hills, the heat, and a little fatigue.  Having said all that, the day has ended well with me sitting in the bar at a table with a beer, some nuts, and my laptop.''I popped into St Mary's Church in Newchurch as the sign said it was open and one could get juices and coffees.  It was very much help yourself, so I had a lovely cordial and popped a pound in the box''My guidebook tells me that the ponies I saw yesterday are Moorland ponies, so I thought I would show you another mare and her foal.  They were very relaxed, and the foal had just stopped feeding from the mare.'Last transfer for us tomorrow as Stephen heads to the midway point, Knighton.Don't forget if you would like to donate to Stephen's chosen charity - England and Wales Mountain Rescue - here is the Just Giving link:  https://www.justgiving.com/page/stephen-russell-offas-dyke#baggagetransfer🎒🚙#offasdykepath👣#charitywalk#steephills ⛰️#churches💒#ponies🫏 ...

Day 3 for our charity walker, Stephen, from Pandy to Hay-on-Wye 🥾

Great photos and excerpts from today's blog, showing Stephen's great love for birds 🐦 🐦‍⬛ 🪶On the Hatterall Ridge:'Waiting for me at the 3rd trig point was this Skylark looking out over England. Indeed, for the whole time I was on the ridge I was accompanied by the singing of the Skylarks and seeing many flying and larking about.  The other lovely sound was that of bumble bees - in particular the white tailed bumble bee.  What joy.''Other birds I heard today included the Willow Warbler, Blackcap, Cuckoo, Wren, Blackbird, Garden Warbler, Goldfinch, Coal Tit, Goldcrest, Chiffchaff and Chaffinch.'Arriving in busy Hay-on-Wye - today us the start of the Hay Book Festival 📖 📚 Stephen is staying just out of the town in Clyro at the Baskerville Hall Hotel 🐕Tomorrow heads to Kington, nearing the halfway point.If you would like to donate to Stephen's chosen charity - England and Wales Mountain Rescue - here is the Just Giving link:  https://www.justgiving.com/page/stephen-russell-offas-dyke#baggagetransfer🎒🚙#offasdykepath👣#charitywalk #mountainrescue #birdwatching 🐦‍⬛ #hayfestival2025 #houndofthebaskervilles 🐕 ...

More brilliant photos from charity walker Stephen, who has completed his second day on the Offa's Dyke Path from Monmouth to Pandy 📸🥾

Here are some excerpts from his blog:'Many of you know that on my walks I have never been overtaken by other walkers.  Well today I was overtaken by many who are running/walking the 200 miles (321km) ultra marathon, Wildhorse 200, from Chepstow to Worm's Head on the Gower Peninsula so they don't count. For those interested in such things, entries are open for next year Wildhorse 200.''Back to normal human stuff.  I came across this wonderful medieval church of Llanvihangel-Ystern-Llewern (St Michael's of the Fiery Meteor).''Much of today's walk was through the valley of the River Trothy.  I knew where it was, but it was difficult to see it as it was very shy hiding behind bushes and other vegetation.  It made a few appearances much further upstream, and here it is in all its glory near Llantillo Mill.'Stephen was lucky to have another fine day for his walk 🌞 Hopefully the same for tomorrow's trip to Pandy 😊If you want to donate to his Just Giving If you would like to donate to Stephen's chosen charity - England and Wales Mountain Rescue - here is the Just Giving link:  https://www.justgiving.com/page/stephen-russell-offas-dyke#baggagetransfer🎒#offasdykepath👣 #charitywalk #englandandwalesmountainrescue #anotherfineday🌞 #customerphotos 📸 ...

Some more great photos from our charity walker Stephen as he completes the first leg of his walk from Chepstow to Monmouth.

From the starting point at Sedbury, with views of the Severn Bridge, he passed through Tidenham and followed the River WyeSome excerpts from his blog:'At the Devil's Pulpit where legend has it that corrupt monks were on the receiving end of a severe preaching, there was an excellent view of Tintern Abbey The river Wye is on the right.'He continued onto Kymin Hill with wonderful views of Monmouth and then onto the Naval Temple.Another and most interesting excerpt:'At breakfast, I met a chap called Robin.  He is walking from Land's End to John O'Groats over a 12-week period.  He is now in his 3rd week and will be staying where I am.  His friend was the man who prosecuted the two clowns who cut down the tree at Sycamore Gap on the Pennine Way.  Off with their heads!'You never know who you are going to meet!!!Tomorrow, he heads from Monmouth to Pandy.If you would like to donate to Stephen's chosen charity - England and Wales Mountain Rescue - here is the Just Giving link:  https://www.justgiving.com/page/stephen-russell-offas-dyke#baggagetransfer🎒 #offasdykepath👣#charitywalks #customerphotos📸#customerblog ...

Our charity walker Kim completed her walk yesterday and has shared these fabulous photos and a wonderful review, too 😊

'We made it back to our last stop in Knighton around 4 pm today and were just saying how this last was our favourite leg of an overall fantastic walk—and your excellent transfer service made all the difference. It was enormous peace of mind to know that our luggage was in good hands and would be reliably waiting for us at the end of a long day; throughout, we were really impressed with your timely and helpful communication. We appreciated the chance to name a charity of our choice to contribute to—it meant the walk felt like a tribute to my mother, who recently passed, being able to make a favourite animal rescue as recipient. Offa’s Dyke route itself was so lush and scenic, we had fantasies of retiring here, and the challenge of the 90 or so miles with not inconsiderable elevation made us feel quite accomplished at end, for teachers with sedentary jobs!'#baggagetransfer🎒 #offasdykepath👣 #charitywalks #completed #customerfeedback #customerphotos 📸 ...

Last night, we were delighted to attend St Mary's Church, Ross-on-Wye, for a book launch and the first event celebrating the Wye Valley Walk's 50th Anniversary 🥾🎉

A joint event with @rossiter_books and the Friends of St Mary's Church, launching the new official Cicerone guide - The Wye Valley Walk- From Source to Sea, researched and written by Ruth Waycott, Wye Valley National Landscape Information Officer, on behalf of the Wye Valley Walk Partnership.Ruth gave an illustrated talk about this classic long distance route and shared some of her ‘Wye-lights’ to look out for along the way.You may recall that we transferred Ruth's luggage back in 2023, and it was lovely to see the end result 😀 #wyevalleywalk50th #50thanniversary 🎉#wyevalleynationallandscape #wyevalleywalkpartnership #rossitersbooks#stmaryschurchrossonwye#illustratedtalk #launchevent #booklaunch #ciceroneguidebook 📚#baggagetransfer 🎒🚙 ...
