General Information

For 2025, our season will run from the 21st March until the 21st October.

No minimum or maximum number of stages. If a stage is particularly long, or if your chosen accommodation is off the normal route, there may be an excess charge.   If an accommodation is too far from the route, or if the length of a stage is so long that it crosses over where our vans overlap, we will not be able to provide the service.

Please be aware that Airbnb’s or similar accommodations cause us real problems, as there is usually no-one there when we come to drop off or pick up bags.  Therefore, unless the host guarantees that we will have easy access to either deliver or collect bags at any time between 9am and 4.30pm, we won’t be able to accept the booking.

Please pay close attention to our terms & conditions which are listed below.

Terms & Conditions

Bags MUST be ready for collection by 9am.

Bags will be delivered by 5pm, although in most cases it will be much earlier.

Bags should weigh no more than 20kg, with no extra items attached.

If extra items are attached they will be removed, labelled and charged as an extra bag, irrespective of size or weight.

We do enforce the weight limit for health and safety reasons and to protect our drivers.

If a bag is excessively heavy, our drivers may refuse to move it as it could expose them to injury.

We don’t average out bag weights so 2 medium bags are much better than 1 large bag and one small one.

Please do not tie anything extra to the outside of your bags.  These items make the bags difficult to lift and regularly become detached, leaving us with no idea to whom they belong.  This includes hats, pillows, boots, carrier bags and particularly walking poles.  If items are left tied to the outside of bags they will be removed, and a label tied onto them.  They will then be charged as an extra bag for that day regardless of size or weight.

We are not insured to carry valuable items such as laptops etc.  Your bags may be in the van under several other bags, so whilst we take every care with clients’ bags,  we take no responsibility if valuable or fragile items are damaged.

Leaving bottles of any type in your bags is a particularly bad idea.

A general rule of thumb is; if you wouldn’t check it into an aircraft hold, then don’t leave it to go in our vans.

Whilst we take every care with clients luggage, we will not accept liability for damage to baggage handles, wheels, stitching, zips, locks etc, caused by general handling.

Cancellations & Booking Fee:

If you cancel for any reason prior to us moving your luggage for the first time, we will refund your payment in full, minus the £2 booking fee.  Cancelled transfers once we have started to move your bags, will not be refunded.

What Our Customer’s Say About Us

To anyone considering using Hadrian’s Haul… DO IT!

Mark and his crew were amazing as our luggage was always waiting for us as we got to our next location.

Excellent service, and Mark went above and beyond to become my personal hero!!

One of our B&B bookings forgot we were coming and Mark showed up to deliver our bags.  OH-OH!

Mark called me immediately to let me know of the snag, then went online and found us another spot for the night.

He was not going to abandon us and leave us stranded. He then arranged for our bags to be delivered to our Hotel and had us picked up on the way to be sure we got there to confirm the new arrangement.

AWESOME.  Who else looks after anyone like that.

Please book with Hadrian’s Haul and enjoy your walk knowing your luggage will be well looked after.

Dear Mark,

My brother Doug and I want to thank you for your “above and beyond” service to us on our recent hike along Hadrian’s Way.  As you might recall, we were unable to contact or get into our hotel room in Corbridge, and we met you at the Golden Lion after Adrian the manager kindly contacted you. After working your network of contacts, you managed to track down the hotel manager and get us in that night. You literally saved us, and we cannot express in words how thankful we both are. My brother and I will only wish that we could return the favour.

All the best,

Steve and Doug (Brothers from Canada)

Hi Mark, I hope you’re well.

Sorry it’s taken me a little while to get round to this but I just wanted to thank you for the service you provided for our Hadrian’s Wall walk.

Everything worked like clockwork, and to be confident that our bag was going to be waiting for us when we arrived everywhere was a massive help.

We had a slight hiccup with our booking at The Robin Hood, but they were great in accommodating us anyway.  My biggest concern was whether that might have had an effect on our bag delivery, but of course it was still there waiting for us anyway, just as instructed!

I slightly underestimated the length of the walk between Twice Brewed and Garthside Farm, so I was in the doghouse when we arrived.  But the bag was already in our pod so we were able to hit the hot tub straight away and all troubles were forgotten!

We were slightly worried on the weight – we weighed everything before we left but of course a few things were swapped in and out along the way, but there was no issue.

We only caught sight of one of your drivers once all week at Twice Brewed where you seemed to be doing a roaring trade!

So thanks for making our walk possible – we had a superb time and wouldn’t hesitate to use you again in the future!

We’re already planning our next adventure now that we know that there are great companies like yours that can do the heavy lifting.

Thanks again,

Paul

We used Hadrian’s Haul in summer 2024 for west to east walk. Mark was superb coming back quickly with the quote. Based on what he said we refined our accommodation. The bags were picked up on time any always there when we arrived. We had some last minute complications with a member who could not travel due to severe family illness and Mark sorted it all out for me over the phone. I highly recommend.

Steve Moore - September 2024

I started the Hadrian’s Wall walk and carried all my camp stuff in a rucksack. I underestimated how crippling this was lol. After 2 days I’d had enough. Anyways I called Mark and asked if could transfer my rucksack the following day. This was at 6pm so very little notice. Mark was fantastic, with excellent combination and sorted everything. The last day I needed my bag taking but couldn’t work out where I should send my bag as I was not staying anywhere. Again, Mark, found a solution!! He suggested using Stasher website. He would deliver my bag to anywhere in Newcastle so I could pick it up within a 12 hour period. Brilliant.

Mark and his business made everything so easy so I could continue on my adventure without this lump on my back. Absolutely brilliant. Mark is awesome and offers a first class service. 1000 percent would always use him if I was in the same situation.
Thank you Mark for everything!!!

Debbie Gledhill - August 2024

We had the most marvellous service from Hadrian’s Haul. They made our walk run so smoothly with our bags preceding us at each of our 8 destinations. They also coordinated the recovery of my phone charger when I realised that I had left it in the previous night’s accommodation. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Thank you.

Sue Firth - June 2024

Hi Mark ,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for transporting our bags so efficiently this week. We can’t believe how easy it was to organise it with you and it made our walk  viable for us .

Thank you so much

Hello Mark

Thank you for a great reliable service moving my bag. It was lovely seeing my bag when I checked into each b and b or inn along Hadrian’s Wall path. We even saw a van on our last day into Newcastle! I will highly recommend your service.

Thanks,

Deborah Hansen

Deborah Hansen - April 2024

The sight of our bag when we arrived at our stay for the night was fantastic, all provided by Mark and his team. We got exactly what we were promised, no pomp or fuss, just perfect service. I recommend this company to any person who needs their service, no need to check anywhere else, these guys are tops.

Howard Murphy - March 2024

Hi Mark,

Thanks for moving our bags over Easter. The children made a game of spotting your vans overtaking us.

91 miles completed in 6 days. The children wanted to do it all again when we’d finished.

Great service, on time every day. It makes all the difference to the walk knowing your bags are well looked after – and that you don’t have to carry them!

All the best for the coming season and I’ll 100% recommend you to any of our friends who want to do the walk.

Kind regards,

Victoria

Hadrian’s Haul moved my backpack between the 28th March and 2nd April whilst I concentrated on tackling Hadrian’s Wall. There is absolutely no way I could have made it carrying my backpack, especially up and down the crags in the middle (most scenic) section. Completely reliable, bags were waiting for me every day when I arrived exhausted. It also acted as that motivation to keep going too rather than calling it a day when I’d had enough. There is no way I could have completed in 7 days otherwise. Very competitive pricing too,  I cannot understand why anyone would want the hassle of carrying their own bag. Very amenable to late changes to plans as things undoubtedly do change as you progress on your walk. Simple booking, I booked the day before.

Highly recommended 👌

Taryn Gronbeck - March 2024

Mark and his team were great in transferring my baggage from one hotel to another and all was seamless. Mark also provided honest and insightful information to assist me in planning my Hadrian’s Wall walk beforehand.

Definitely recommend.

Simon Hilton - March 2024

This company are quite simply faultless, transferring my luggage seamlessly, quickly over seven locations along the wall. Highly recommended.

James Atkinson - September 2023

They did the luggage transfer for us as we walked Hadrian’s Wall path. Absolutely no issues, our bags were always at our next place in good condition when we arrived. Gave us peace of mind and helped us enjoy our walk.

Cal Piston - September 2023

Perfection! At the very last minute – an error on our part – we failed to connect properly and make the reservations in advance – and they bent over to accommodate us! Originally we chose the company on Google that was the “sponsored” listing. Much to our great dismay, they refused to respond, but rather passed our information on to Hadrian’s Haul. We only discovered that when we called Hadrian’s and they were aware of our intinerary, having received it from the other firm. Our strong opinion to choose Handrian’s Haul first and always cannot be overstated. We had not one, not two – but THREE different walking adventures in three different countires – and these guys nailed it! Our bags were where they were supposed to be – when they were supposed to be there – and an outcome like that makes all the difference when you are sleeping in a different hotel or B&B every night, for three weeks running! A great business with a leader at the top who believes in what he’s doing, the difference it makes and how to get it done! Thank you for a stress-free adventure! – Marilyn Trumper-Samra, George Samra, Oscoda, MI USA

A fantastic service. Great communication from Mark at all times. Bags always there before us. No hassle or stress. The service made our week. Why would you go else where?

Su - July 2023

Mark and the team were excellent. Extremely responsive and helpful in setting up the baggage transfer. They made it incredibly easy and even suggested best practices/places for pickups/dropoffs.

We would absolutely use again! A+ recommended.

Ryan Measel - September 2022

Everything about using Hadrian’s Bags for my six days on the trail was effortless and efficient. Great communication and ease of booking led to a worry free week – my bag was always there in good time. Thanks Mark and the team!

Philip Lawson - April 2022

When embarking on a significant trek you need to be in a position to trust someone to transfer your baggage, and its precious belongings, from one destination to another. It is extremely gratifying to know that this will happen responsibly & effectively.
HWBT Limited certainly delivered for my trio & I would recommend their service to everyone.
Communication totally effective & simple.
Do not think we could have asked for more. Great job guys!

Colin Bird - April 2022

Really excellent service – absolutely perfect! Transfers were seamless, efficient and bags always waiting for us when we got to our B&B. Mark the owner was lovely and went way beyond what was expected – and did us a massive favour to help us out. Very much appreciated and worth every penny. Great value. No hesitation in recommending Hadrians Bag Service. Thank you Mark and team.

Jo Morris - April 2022

Faultless 1st class service. Couldn’t have done the Hadrian’s wall walk without them. Top stuff
