Meet the party at the end of week one with spares,

Conversely, you could do the whole thing in the week.

High Level Plan;
The van would do the pickups and drop off at JOG.
Meet the party at the end of week one with spares, clothing and any other essentials, again at the end of week 2 then collect and do drop-offs at the end of week 3.
Riders would carry a minimum of a tent and sleeping bag or tent share and split the load, one set of spare clothing plus wet weather jacket.

A morning coffee is essential for me but a lightweight stove and meths weighs nothing.
It’s surprising how little difference the weight makes unless climbing steep hills.
