We are investing in a bag carrying service. For approximately 7 lbs per day per bag, a van will pick up our bags in the am and deliver them to our next stop by 4pm the same day. In my opinion, completely worth the price.
We will only need to carry on our backs the immediate necessities; rain gear, first aid kit, space blanket, flash light, water, snacks, cell, maps, compass, saline, contact case, extra contacts, toilet paper, tissues, extra layers, waders, bug spray and wine key...yeah, so what? I consider a wine key a necessity. You probably would too if you were walking 200 miles on a trail with very little to no markings.
Anyway, I feel much more confident about climbing through the Lake District knowing that the bulk of our things will be bumping along in the back of a van while we toil up and over the mountains. (Okay, the Brits call them "hills" but where we live in the tropics, these are definitely mountains!)
