The Sherpa
Van Project started operating on Britain's long-distance footpaths in May 1998.
Since that date we have helped a lot of walkers and cyclists take the
weight off their shoulders and enjoy a hassle free walk. "Just
to say thanks for the excellent arrangements in baggage transfer last
week arranged via our son Stewart. it worked really well (despite the
weather)and we shall certainly recommend the Sherpavan to our
friends."
"Just
wanted to say thanks for your excellent service. Our bags were transferred
without any hitches and our return journey in the van from Patterdale to St
Bees worked really well! We have never had our bags carried before but we
certainly will use this service in future. Thanks again."
"
Thank you folks for all your help. We did
our walk last week with fantastic results - everything went perfectly
smoothly. I must admit I was a little anxious at our first stop whether our
bags would be there or not but your system works brilliantly. I
will be recommending this wonderful service to all sorts of people here!
"A
great time was had by all - the more so for not having to carry heavy packs -
the bags transfer was faultless. Thanks
for altering your timings at St Bees, so that we could drop the bags off."
"We
just wanted to thank you for your excellent information on Offa's Dyke. We
have just returned from a brilliant holiday planned and booked from your
website."
"Thank
you very much for your excellent service on my Coast to Coast walk in
July/August. The accommodation was mostly good to excellent."
"Used
you for the first time, starting 15 July. Very impressed with the service,
bags always beat us to our destination, and hotels on way compared you
favourably with the competition."
"We
finished the Coast to Coast on Thursday, July 20 and I want to thank you for
the excellent service. It was always a joy to find our bag waiting for us
after a long day's slog. I'd also like to thank one of your drivers, Ron, for
picking us up in Keld and transporting us to Reeth when we had overestimated
our ability to walk 23 miles. He was knowledgeable and friendly and talking to
him gave us an idea of what a tricky job you have at Sherpavan and how well
you do it. We'd certainly use your service again! Thanks."
"I
would like to thank you and all the people involved in ensuring our bags found
there way to the right place. it was always reassuring to see our bags at our
B & B when we arrived. We had a great time and my friend did do the walk
when he probably shouldn't have. Thanks again."
"Just
to let you know the service was excellent and my mother said the driver was a
gentleman, would recommend, thanks."
"On
behalf of Don Walter and myself I should like to thank you for the efficient
way in which you booked our accommodation and transported our baggage during
this walk. All the places that we stayed at were welcoming and gave us good
value for money. Our enquiries prior to booking were dealt with promptly and
with courtesy. We were able to enjoy the walk knowing that it had been well
planned and that we were going to good accommodation. Please convey our thanks
to the staff concerned."
"Just
returned from completion of Cleveland Way. Thanks very much for your excellent
service. Best regards."
"Just
to say my son and I had a wonderful walk. I was very impressed with the
service given by yourselves and will have no hesitation recommending you to
other people I know."
"This
message is to thank you for the excellent service you have provided to myself
and Ravinder. We walked the Dales Way over 6 days in April 2006 and enjoyed it
immensely - in no small part thanks to Sherpavan
and your comprehensive
website. Via your website we were able to easily book all the
accommodation and baggage transfers and buy the books and maps we
needed for the walk."
"Just
a note to thank you and your drivers for having made our c2c cycle trip
possible last week. It was an absolutely perfect service, with our bags always
waiting for us at each stop. On our last day, the driver who returned us to
Whitehaven from Sunderland drove us back in what seemed amazingly little time,
but smoothly and comfortably (which after five days on our bikes was much
appreciated). Thanks also to you personally, for dealing so promptly with a
collection problem in Penrith on Wednesday morning, especially as I had to
call so early."
"We have recently
completed the coast to coast, and I would like to say how good your service
is, it was wonderful to go off walking every morning and be confident that we
would find our bags at our accommodation every evening. I was especially
impressed when I got a call from you on the morning of the final day to
confirm that our bags we not to be picked up that morning (a friend with a car
had come to meet us the night before). That proves what good care you take of
your customers. We could not have managed it without you, and look forward to
using you on or next long walk. Many thanks to your team."
"I
recently completed the Coast to Coast walk going East to West using your
baggage service. I am writing to thank you for providing such an excellent
service; it made the walk that much more enjoyable"
"We have just finished
our C2C Walk for which all accommodation and bag transfers were arranged by
The Sherpa Van Project. The whole process was seamless in its efficiency. I
think we 'beat the bag' twice - just at the halfway point where the van is at
the furthest point on its route, but this wasn't an issue in either case as it
arrived within an hour of us. All the accommodation bookings worked out, and
we have logged feedback for everywhere we stayed, some of which were excellent
but at the very least, adequate. Your service is well worth the money and
takes all the hassle out of the booking, and carrying, side of the trip
leaving us free to enjoy(?) the walking. We had a wonderful trip, and would
recommend the walk, and the Sherpa Van Project, to anyone contemplating
following in our footsteps. Thank you!"
"Just to let you know
that my wife and I completed the C2C last week and the service you provided
for moving the luggage on daily was excellent. It is the first time we have
used such a service and I have say it was completely hassle free. All the best with the continuing service and I hope all your
clients are as satisfied as we were with your services."
"We have returned from
our wonderful walk across England. Everything about our trip was so special
and my sister and I want to thank you for all you did to arrange and oversee
our trip. We rode with Sherpavan 2 mornings and met 2 charming men who did a
flawless job in getting our bag each morning and finding us every evening- to
you and Mary, who handled things from the front end and to our two drivers who
got the bag to us each evening we say THANK YOU! It
was simply a glorious, unforgettable trip in your beautiful country. We will
highly recommend you and your services."
"We
never once thought about you, that's how good your service is. You were like
the shoe makers elves, we'd not see you in the morning before we left and we'd
not see you there when you dropped off our bags. They were just
"there" like magic. All I can say is this - the bag was always where
we were when we needed it, we never had any problems, it hadn't been smashed
or mishandled, it was just a painless serviceand always done perfectly - not
one problem in 2+ weeks. I can't think of many businesses that can say
that!"
"Many
thanks for an excellent service - we just got back from the C to C walk and
everything went very smoothly."
"I
wanted to take a moment to thank you and Sherpa for a truly wonderful trip. It
was everything that my daughter and I imagined and more! The accommodations, luggage
handling, food, people... and even the weather were great." "We
found Sherpa Van to be totally reliable and efficient and would have no
hesitation in recommending it to others." "We
have just used you service for the third time- twice for the Dales Way and
once for the Cumbrian way- and would like to say how happy we have been with
the excellent service provided in moving our luggage from place to
place."
"Just
a note to say thank-you for making the B&B reservations etc. for us and
for making our holiday possible! We were so fortunate last week, the weather
was extremely kind to us....the bags were always there before us which is
quite comforting when you need a change of clothes, and the system worked
seamlessly. Many thanks for your choices of places to stay, all were very
welcoming and comfortable. "A
big Thank You to the Sherpa Van baggage transfer. Myself and a friend have
just walked the Cleveland Way all 110 miles of it. We couldn't have done it
without the help of the Sherpa Van. Our baggage arrived safely and efficiently
to each of our destinations along the way. We even changed one of the drop
offs to another location, the Sherpa Van ensured us that this was not a
problem and on arriving at the different location our bags were present.
"We were very
impressed with Sherpa Van's quiet efficiency and it certainly made a huge
difference to our enjoyment of the walk! I wish we had known about you last
year for the Cumbrian Way.
''I am
writing to you to thank you and the Sherpa team of drivers for the wonderful
back pack carrying service. We completed successfully the Alternative Coast to
Coast Route in October and the fact that it was an enjoyable holiday for us
and not an endurance test was thanks to Sherpa! Please convey our appreciation
to all concerned. We were most impressed by the efficient way it was organised
and carried out!'' '''We would just like to thank
your company for a great service on our holiday. We walked Hadrians Wall;
Wallsend to Bowness on Solway. We left the choice of B&Bs to yourselves
and were extremely happy with every accommodation, plus our luggage always
arrived in advance. This was our first holiday of this kind and we look
forward to doing another walk soon. Many Thanks'' "Thank you very much for moving our
bags from B&B to B&B on Coast to Coast. It was strange not carrying
everything. Thank you drivers, if I do another walk I will be in touch."
"We joined our friends for one
section of their Coast to Coast walk a week ago. We could not have made it at
all without such terrific help from Mary scheduling and Ron picking up and
transporting us. What a treat to be able to see such a beautiful part of this
place we now call home. We could not have done it without Mary and Ron being
such gracious and helpful people. They were well-informed, timely and
cheerful. Please let them know how much we appreciated them and the extra
effort they took so we could enjoy our walk. We look forward to more walks
with Sherpa Van after our first experience was so delightful."
"My friend and I returned last
Monday from completing the Coast to Coast walk. We were assisted
throughout by your efficient baggage carrying service for which we are
grateful. At the end of each day's walking it was good to see that our baggage had
arrived before us. We are not used to such reliability these days. We shall not hesitate to recommend your service to others and, as we are
intending to walk the West Highland Way next May, we shall be seeking your
help again. "I write on behalf of Robin Sargent
and myself to thank your company very much for all the arrangements you made
reference our Coast to Coast walk from 10th to the 24th may 2002. We
were extremely happy with the accommodation provided and the efficient way our
luggage was transferred between venues. It was clear from conversations
with other walkers that 'Sherpa Van' were by far and away the best in
every respect.... We will recommend your services and indeed use them
ourselves again in the future "
"I
completed the Dales Way last Saturday and am just writing to say a big thank
you for your help. All the accommodation that you booked for us was
excellent, and the baggage transfer worked like clockwork. This helped
to make a very satisfying trek into a most enjoyable one, safe in the
knowledge that our bags would be waiting with a relaxing bath, in comfortable
rooms at the end of each day." "Thank
you for your mysterious service - the baggage transfer appeared to happen by
magic. After 4 days of carrying all our stuff, Sherpa saved us a lot of
pain and made the walk enjoyable." "Many
thanks for your very efficient service making our walk along the Coast to
Coast walk doubly enjoyable. I must say we had doubts on our first day
when we had no contact with you since March, but the bags turned up every day
on time - well done!"
"Having
just got back from doing the Coast to Coast I wanted to say thanks for the
service and support from your team. Not having booked in advance and
only ringing you at the last minute on our day 3 in Ingleby Cross the help you
provided allowed us to continue the journey. From there on we used the
service everyday, arriving at our destination to find heavy bags waiting for
us. Even when presented with logistical difficulties in the lakes you
came up with a workable solution. Thanks to the drivers, but
particularly thanks to Frank who was always on the end of a phone line." "Just to let you know that I have
had the most wonderful walk across the Cumbria Way, my baggage was collected
as arranged and according to my itinerary. I was walking on my own , so
naturally was most concerned things worked out well, which they did, so thanks
again and I will most certainly require your services again in the
future." "We have just successfully
completed the Coast to Coast walk and on behalf of my friends, I am writing to
express our thanks for the efficient way in which the baggage transfers were
carried out by Sherpa. It really was an excellent service and very much
appreciated." "A small note to thank you for your
excellent service. I was especially grateful when unknown I had left my
weather proof jacket behind, and it also arrived at our destination. That
particular day was hot, however the following day crossing the Yorkshire Moors
we had strong wind, rain, and hail so the protection of a coat was
essential." "Thank-you
for providing an efficient service on our recent Herriot Way trip. I
would have no hesitation in using your services again or recommending you to
any of my fellow walking companions who may want similar baggage courier
services in the future." "Thanks for
the excellent service. We wouldn't have made it without you!" "Just
a quick note to say thank-you for the excellent service we received recently
when doing the Coast to Coast. The baggage and accommodation service
meant that we could just enjoy our holiday without any worries." "As
we are three OAPs, there is no way that we could have successfully undertaken
this walk and carried our gear, and in any case, we wanted to enjoy
ourselves. We actually came across several people who were experiencing
problems en route and we advised them to contact the Sherpa Van and arrange
transfers." "I completed the Coast to Coast
walk on Monday and am writing to say how very impressed I was with the service
which you provided all along my route. Every day when I reached my
destination, my case was waiting for me. Totally reliable, totally hassle
free. Wonderful! "Having just returned from a YHA
Cumbria Way Hike, I was totally impressed by my first experience o the Sherpa
Van Project. It made walking much easier, and therefore more enjoyable. "I would like to thank you for
organising such a wonderful holiday for myself and Mrs Kay. All the
accommodation was good and I would rate River View at Lea Yeat, and Kent Dene
at Bowston as excellent for this kind of walking holiday. "Your level of service was
extraordinary. I had some trouble with my knee at the beginning of the trip,
and the van driver went out of his way to take me to the hospital at Keswick.
Louise called a couple of days later to see how I was doing, which was much
appreciated. "Just a note to thank you for your
part in making our trip to England to walk the Coast to Coast such a wonderful
experience. "I am writing to commend your
organisation for the faultless service which was provided in support of my
Coast to Coast walk during July 1998. Even though some of my requests for
transportation of baggage were irregular, Sherpa were able to comply fully in
my support. In particular, for the stage from Blakey Ridge to Grosmont, I
omitted to label my bag with an address. A Sherpa person obviously showed
considerable initiative in phoning likely accommodation locations to find
where I was staying that evening; well done and thank you."
