reciprocal student storage this summer Cardiff & Belfast

My daughter is a student living in a rented house in Cardiff (near the city centre) and has no car.

We live in Belfast N.Ireland (a few miles from Queens University )

Our daughter needs to come home from Cardiff for the summer - at the end of May/start of June - and doesnt need to be back (to a different house) in Cardiff until September.

We've been looking for the most economical way of putting her books bedding clothing kitchen stuff etc into storage in Cardiff, but due to cost and hassle, I guess we'll end up doing the same laborious trip as last year - taking the overnight boat from Belfast to Liverpool,driving to Cardiff to bring EVERYTHING home...and then doing the same -in reverse- in September.

So ( eventually) the point of my post...if there's anyone in Cardiff planning to come to Belfast to bring their kids things back to Cardiff for the summer, to then bring them all back to Belfast again in September...if you let me know, maybe we could arrange to collect,store and deliver each others kids things locally and therefore cut down on costs and hassle....???
