I want to thank you for the seamless transfer of my case this week. The service has been excellent. Shame about the weather, but thanks to your team, at least I had dry, clean clothes at every stop.

Kind regards

If it wasn’t for Carrylite’s reliable, efficient and no-fuss service we would not have been able to complete the St Cuthbert’s Way. Carrylite really does take the strain out of long distance trail walking.

Andrew, Katherine & Jenny McCloy - September 1997St Cuthbert’s Way

Hi Mark,

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the excellent service you provided for our St. Cuthbert’s Way walk this week. Everything worked like clockwork.

We’re already planning our next walk and would definitely use Carrylite again and recommend you to others. Thanks for all your advice and for letting us walk pack free.

Best wishes Frances

Frances Arrowsmith - September 2023St Cuthbert’s Way

Dear Mark

I would like to thank you and your team for the wonderful  job you did transporting our baggage while we were enjoying walking on St Cuthbert’s Way.  There were several days when we saw the reassuring sight of one of your vans which we knew would have been collecting or delivering our bags.

So, thanks once again.

Regards

Janice Othen - September 2023St Cuthbert’s Way

Luggage moved efficiently and exactly as requested.
Very clear instructions given (slightly pedantic!) but because of the detail, easily understood and followed. Our luggage was waiting for us in the correct pub or hotel in Northumberland every time. Thank you SO much!

Excellent service taking our two heavy bags on the Northumberland Coastal Path – including a night on Holy Island. It was a welcome sight to spot our bags waiting for us at the end of a hard day’s walking! Would highly recommend to save your back and knees on a long distance walk,

Peter Owston - June 2023Northumberland Coastal Path

I just wanted to thank you for an excellent bag carrying service. We didn’t see you or your team once but our bags were always ready and waiting for us at our accommodation! From the first email to the last bag transfer you provided an efficient and hassle free service and we wouldn’t hesitate to use your company again.
We had a fantastic week walking the St Cuthbert’s Way, absolutely loved it especially the final walk across the sands to Lindisfarne.

Keryn Green - June 2023St Cuthbert’s Way

Many thanks for your excellent service carrying our bags on the Northumberland Coastal Way – everything ran so smoothly and it was fabulous knowing we could pack those extra socks and kit for the evenings without having to break our backs and feet. Our highlights would be walking the dunes on the way into Bamburgh and taking our boots and socks off to walk across the sand from Lidisfarne.

It helped that the weather was kind with no rain all week.

We’d recommend Carrylite without any reservations at all and have done so a couple of times already.

Chris Prentice - June 2023Northumberland Coastal Path

Mark, Just to say thank you for carrying our bags around the Borders Abbeys Way over the last few days – all worked out perfectly for us.

Steve Radley - July 2022St Cuthbert’s Way

Hi Mark and Carrylite folks,

Our family traveled from the US to walk St. Cuthbert’s Way. Carrylite was recommended to us, and we are so glad we used them. The bags were there before us every time, even when we arrived early. It was such a gift not to have to think about it, just trust it all to go smoothly and it did. We had a wonderful experience walking St. Cuthbert’s Way and honestly can’t imagine how we would have done it without Carrylite.

Perhaps a  ‘better late than never’ note but wanted to say a huge thank you for the efficiency of the baggage transfer service you provided for us during our walk along St Cuthbert’s Path recently. We managed to meet with two of your drivers, both of whom were very pleasant and accommodating.

We wish you and your team well for the future and hope you are able to ‘enjoy’ the rest of the 2021 walking season.

Warm regards.

Phillip Gregory - June 2021St Cuthbert’s Way

Thank you again and will be recommending your 1st class services to all …

Andy Hegedus - June 2021Northumberland Coast Path

Good morning Mark

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your excellent service on our baggage transfer last week on the Northumberland Coast Path.  It was so reassuring to see our bags every day when we arrived at our destination tired and hot after a long day’s walk!

It was a stunning walk with the most glorious weather showcasing Northumberland at it’s best!

I will not hesitate to recommend your services, or use them again should we choose another route in your area.  Your booking process was efficient and easy too.

Thank you!

Many thanks for your assistance moving our bags and in particular for taking us back to Belford today.

We had a really enjoyable time and there was so much variety in the places we stayed, the food we ate, the people we met, the scenery, the flowers, bird trees, etc.

And, as last year, your non-stop commentary on the journey was fascinating – I almost feel I could fly a helicopter now!!!

Hi Mark, another one for your long list of glowing tributes on the website.

Many thanks

Arthur Bowen - September 2018Berwickshire Coastal Path

A belated but no less heart felt thanks for making our trip so wonderful!! Your service was impeccable and enabled us to thoroughly enjoy our journey without any worry!
Those who moved our luggage were just as nice if and when we saw them. Otherwise it seemed like magic, our bags just disappeared and reappeared for us. What a way to travel.
We were even lucky on our walk. gorgeous weather smiled upon us and our days on the Way were glorious. We even did the last 3 miles to Holy Island in our bare feet crossing the sands (the proper way!) it was definitely an experience, amazing on so many levels.
Thank you again for all your help, for answering my endless emails and for making our trip literally seamless and ridiculously easy.
The only thing we had to do was the walking part!! and not having to worry about anything but that made it so much fun!
With grateful thanks, Liz Deneny, Cindy Willis, Ana Maria Holme and Nancy Larsen

Highly recommend Carry-lite as Mark really does go the extra mile by organising our transport at the start and end of the walk at Holy Island and for all the valuable information. 

Thanks again.

It was great to find our luggage at our appointed destination after a hard day’s walk, and I won’t hesitate to recommend you to any friends who may be tempted to walk the St Cuthbert’s Way.  Not only did we complete the Way but we were blessed by truly wonderful weather.

Regards.

Fiona Stewart - April 2018St Cuthbert’s Way

Dear Mark, 

Many thanks for the amazing service you provided for us whilst we walked the St Cuthbert’s Way. Battling through bog and at times knee deep snow was a massive challenge and it was so wonderful to have our bags waiting, warm, safe and dry at the end of the day. You were super efficient and dealt with our changes in plans and locations with good humour and amazing organizational skills. I will be recommending your service to everyone I speak to.  

 Many thanks

Anna Pandrich - April 2018St Cuthbert’s Way

Dear Mark

Just a quick email to say how all went well on our St Oswald’s Way walk with bags delivered every day in plenty of time. Thank you so much for taking us to the start of our walk and also for recommending George for our taxi ride from Lindisfarne to Berwick on Tweed. Thanks also for all the advice about the walk before we set off.

PS We would highly recommend Carrylite to any fellow walkers!!

Wendy Bisiker - August 2017St Oswald’s Way

Hi Mark

Having just returned home from walking the Saint Oswald’s Way I wanted to write and thank you for the fantastic service you provided with our baggage transfer.  We had never used a transfer service before and we loved having our bags waiting for us every evening.  The fact that we could take extra clothes and toiletries definitely made the whole experience much more enjoyable and comfortable.

It seemed almost like magic to arrive at our accommodation each evening and find our luggage waiting for us.  It all went without a hitch, even though we walked the route the opposite way to most people, from Wall to Holy Island.

Thank you also for arranging our taxi from Holy Island to Berwick.  George was a lovely man, very helpful.

Thank you again for everything.  I’ll be in touch again when we do the Saint Cuthbert’s Way.

Kind regards.

Paula Connelly - July 2017St Oswald’s Way

From the pickup of my gear and myself at Newcastle Airport to the daily transportation of my bags and my eventual pick up again from Holy Island everything worked seamlessly. I couldn’t have asked for a more efficient service. Hopefully see you for St. Oswald’s Way next year.

Keith Robertson - March 2015St Cuthbert’s Way

Many thanks for your great service and all of the pick up and drops made throughout the walk last week. Each day our bags were ready and waiting or us when we arrived and we were grateful for that.

Tim Harper - August 2014St Cuthbert’s Way

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Carrylite for the bag carrying that you did for us last week. Wonderful to have such a reliable service and anyone else we spoke to was also suitably impressed. Thank you.

Dorothy Welch - June 2014St Cuthbert’s Way

Thanks so much for your splendid service on my Northumberland coastal walk last week with my daughter. It’s years since I went on a long walk, with a rucksack, and it was pure joy to do one without that burden. It was brilliant to turn up at our accommodation each night to find our bags waiting. Thanks again

Pauline Wynter - June 2014Northumberland Coastal Path

Thanks for carrying our luggage for us as we walked the St Cuthbert’s Way last week. After the first day, when we were terrified that it would go wrong, we relaxed: the accommodation owners were clearly confident that all would be well and the luggage appeared correctly and without any damage; It all helped make the walk so very enjoyable.

Louise & Peter Krug - April 2014St Cuthbert’s Way

Thank you for transporting our bags last month while we walked St Cuthbert’s Way. The sight of our bags in the hall of each night’s new B&B was extremely welcome, and the knowledge that we would have something clean to put on! And we are very glad that we didn’t have to carry everything ourselves. We were very impressed with your efficiency and would certainly recommend you to anyone else contemplating a similar expedition.

Sarah Bradley - September 2013St Cuthbert’s Way

Carrylite must be used on the trails they facilitate. I have used their bag transfer on two long distance walks now and find them extremely reliable and very helpful. I cannot recommend their service too highly.

Nigel Toye - May 2013St Oswald’s Way

We used Carrylite for our time on the Northumbria Coast Path in April 2013. Mark ,who is Mr Carrylite, was very helpful with suggestions of places to stay that matched our requirements. There were some real gems amongst them. We would pack the cases after breakfast, leave them at reception and then see them again as we arrived at the next stop. It all ran very smoothly and I have recommended using Carrylite to my friends. Our only disappointment was that we never got to meet Mark.

Andy Fitzgerald - April 2013Northumberland Coastal Path

Thank you for providing a reliable service to my friends and myself whilst we walked the Northumberland Coast Path. Our bags were always waiting for us at the end of a long day. I would certainly use your services again if I planned another walk in the north and would recommend you to friends and colleagues.

Paul Siddall - April 2013Northumberland Coastal Path

My sister and I (& 2 dogs) used your excellent bag carrying service on the St Oswald’s Way. Thank you very much, we couldn’t have done it without you. The walk was wonderful and it was so appreciated to see our bags waiting for us You were excellent.

Thank you.

Fiona MacBeth - July 2012St Oswald’s Way

I am writing to thank you for the wonderful service you gave to our group of walkers. I especially want to thank you for finding us alternative accommodation in Jedburgh at very short notice, we shall certainly recommend you and use you again when we are in your area.

Margaret Haigh - April 2012St Cuthbert’s Way

A big thank you for the vital part you have played in our trip. Everyone has spoken highly of you, professional, and efficient, and we are happy to add considerate and committed.

Our thanks and best wishes.

Doretta & Nick Cole - September 2011St Cuthbert’s Way

Rachel & Pete Cantor - July 2010Northumberland Coastal Path

Hi Mark

Sorry for not sending a message sooner, i just wanted to let you know we had a great time walking St Oswalds way. The baggage transfers were great.

Many Thanks.

Michelle & Terry Jenkins - July 2010St Oswald’s Way

Just a quick note to say a huge THANK YOU for your part in making our week away such a fabulous success! The other walks we’ve done haven’t had a Mark-the-bag, so this time was a rare treat. I am a revived and renewed woman! So many, many thanks.

Alison Fawcett - June 2010Northumberland Coastal Path

Mark,

Many thanks for providing problem free baggage transfers for our walk last week.

We had good food, & good weather & a few uncomfortable blisters but were pleased we had chosen such a varied & interesting walk.

Malcolm McCulloch - May 2009St Cuthbert’s Way

We all five wish to say how excellent your luggage carrying service has been. We had a very good walk and all the arrangements went smoothly. Thank you.

Elizabeth Cooper - May 2009St Oswald’s Way

Dear Mark

Thank you for the efficient bag carrying service that you provided to us over the last week. We all had a wonderful week, beautiful scenery, dry weather and perfect peace. All went like clockwork, including your service. We shall definitely be recommending the walk to our rambler colleagues which will hopefully bring you some more business as well. I can’t understand why there are not more walkers doing this walk as it is such a joy.

Thanks again

Ros

Rosamund Jackson - June 2008St Cuthbert’s Way

Mark

It seems strange to have completed the St. Cuthbert’s Way without having met you, but thanks very much for carrying our bags. It was wonderful to arrive each night and find them there. We had a great walk – no rain at all which can’t be said of the days since then.

All good wishes.

David Newman - June 2007St Cuthbert’s Way

Dear Mark

Thanks for moving our luggage last week – it was so good to arrive at the end of each day to find our bags already there.

We enjoyed the walk in spite of the weather not being brilliant, but at least it was mainly dry.

I will certainly pass on your details to any one else who is walking in your area.

Regards.

Isobel Beard - June 2007St Cuthbert’s Way

Dear Mark.

Just a note to thank you and your team for  a great job carrying our bags last week.We have been extremely impressed with the service and could be heard singing your praises to two other walkers(doing the new Coastal Path) who were travelling light rather than risk their bags to a carrying company as they had had very bad experiences down south with a long distance walk ,when their bags did not arrive!!

Please accept our heartfelt thanks for a first class service!  We will definitely use you again and will recommend you to others!

With very best wishes!

Liz Harrison & Kathy Richards - September 2006St Cuthbert’s Way

A very big thank you for your excellent service carrying our bags along St Cuthbert’s Way. You were so efficient and so friendly and helpful when I rang, I’m very impressed. Many thanks and every blessing.

Celia Appleton - June 2005St Cuthbert’s Way

Hello Mark,
Sorry this is a bit late, but I just wanted to thank you for safely delivering my group’s luggage when we were doing the St Cuthbert’s Way three weeks ago. We had a tremendous time and it was reassuring to know that our luggage was safely delivered for us.  Also, very much appreciated your cheerful notes.
Sorry we didn’t get the chance to meet you. Hope you have a good season.
Cheers

Sheila McKy - May 2004St Cuthbert’s Way

Mark,

Just a note to say thank you for the excellent service you provided for us last week. We had a great time and it was so much the better for not having to carry a ‘full pack’.

Thanks again,

Steve Hough - June 2003St Cuthbert’s Way

I would like to thank you for your really excellent service of shifting our luggage on a daily basis. I do not know what we would have done without you.

Elizabeth Lawson - May 2003St Cuthbert’s Way

Mark ,

Just to say thanks for the great service we received on our wee jaunt along the St. Cuthbert’s way.

Many thanks again.
