Tigermouse I like your thinking, I joked yesterday to my mum that I would use my big suitcase on wheels but didn't think about the wheelie holdalls *doh* I'm off to do more googling lol
I've often thought what I would use if the great she-devil ran off with the milkman and I had to go solo possibly without transport...I decided I would use a child's push-chair. I could get a huge amount of kit in it and most public transport accept these vehicles. Plus a lot easier to push rather than a suitcase on wheels.
For peace of mind always keep a big torch, a full tin of deodorant and a lighter that works close to you when bedding down for the night.
then if clocking any intruders with a big torch doesn't work then spray the deodorant in their eyes. if you want to feel safe visiting the loo at night keep the deodorant in a pocket and a lighter in the other hand... instant flamethrower and when up in front of the judge you can tell him you acted on Impulse ;)

Hi Stokiegal...If your looking for a trolly to transport your stuff on public transport try googling fishing trollies...Sturdy two wheeled trollies fihermen use to get their gear to the river/lake..Lightweight and foldable..They are designed to withstand the rigours of uneven ground...And if mine is anything to go by can hold a fair amount of stuff....No good for backpacking(would..I imagine get a bit tiring lugging it about all day) but for house-transport-to site might be what your looking for...

I've been looking at bicycle trailers - the sort you put small children or dogs in - I went to see/touch at a bike shop yesterday and was surprised to find how light they are. You could walk one of those about with stacks of kit in very easily. They are expensive, but I see there are quite a few on auction sites ... if I ever become homeless, that's what I'd be looking at to get about the country with all the home comforts with me!

For some reason, that has really made me laugh. I can picture you with boots and billy cans haging from the pushchair.
It also reminded me of a sweet old tramp who used to be around Croydon when I was a kid. He pushed all his stuff around in an old Silver Cross pram.
