Bookings complete

When planning such a venture as this one has to initially answer the question: are we going to do it all in one go? In our case the answer was a unanimous 'yes'. Dispensed just as quickly - with the opposite reply - was the question: are we going to tortoise it? (carrying all our gear and camping). So, B&B's it was.
Initially we trawled several companies via the internet who offer a 'sherpa' service - for a price they carry your luggage to your next overnight stop allowing you to do the walk carrying just a day-sack. It was a good job we were sitting down as the prices were, well, as high as some of the Lake District peaks.
So we have decided to transport ourselves using two vehicles and a logistics plan that the Army would be proud of. Additionally we are doing it in such a way that we can have two nights at each B&B rather than just one.
Today, and much much easier than I anticipated, we have completed the booking of all of our B&B stops, seven in all starting at Ennerdale Bridge and finishing at RHB.
