Would the logistics been staggering?

Presumably many of the guests would provide their own transport, we know Bingley has his own carriage. Many of the guests would also bring servants. There were inns throughout England, JA's characters are always staying at them, so that would be where they could stay the night and the logistics of food, clean sheets, etc could be offloaded onto the innkeepers and the gentry's personal servants. Equally food supplies for the horses pulling the carriages could be brought along the way. Organising a large bunch of people who are travelling together is hard work for the organiser, but hardly impossible. I belong to a tramping club that pulls off such activities without anyone having paid servants. I've managed twelve people for an Easter away in the South Island while still having plenty of time to enjoy myself, and I'm hardly one of the club experts. | |
