Taking your baggage out of walking holidays

Leading Australian adventure travel company, World Expeditions Travel Group, has acquired UK-based baggage transfer service, Sherpa Van, who specialise in services for walkers on some of Britain's best walking trails, including the popular Coast to Coast Trek.

Sherpa Van collects walker's baggage each morning and delivers them to their next accommodation, freeing them up to participate in longer linear walks with just a day pack, and with the comfort of their luggage on arrival.

The baggage transfer service has become a popular option for the growing number of travellers participating in walking holidays through Britain's countryside, eliminating the need for walkers to carry a heavy pack.

World Expeditions CEO, Sue Badyari, says she's excited about the new offering which will complement the company's extensive offering of a range of fully serviced walking holidays in Britain.

“So many people are seeking the enjoyment of participating in longer walks like the classic Coast to Coast Walk which travels 300 kilometres across Britain, through rolling hills bordered by dry stone walls and charming little villages,” she said.

“But for many, carrying your entire week's luggage from place to place each day can mean the difference between being able to do the trek or not, so this transfer service is key to making the treks accessible for all levels of trekkers who'll carry just a day pack.

“Sherpa Van gives travellers peace of mind that their baggage is competently transported by professional drivers, allowing them to simply enjoy the joy of walking and the beauty of the British countryside.”
