That's exactly would I would do. In fact it's exactly what I have done in the past.I know this is not exactly what you’ve asked @Robo but what about posting it to Ivar? I’d think that would be cheaper than to Oz. Either that or be Stylish Pilgrim!

One method I've used when overseas is Posta Restante (aka General Delivery). When you get to the UK, send the box to yourself at a Post Office at your last location in the UK. They will keep it for 18 days (20 days if you allow for 2 days transit to the destination).
Many thanks.www.postoffice.co.uk for information about cost of posting and location of post offices. There isn't a post office at Stansted airport. So best to look near where you will be staying. If you have a choice, I find it's often quicker to use smaller PO branches than ones in main towns Feel free to pm me if you need more specific help as I live quite close to the airport. My trawl shows PO as cheapest to Australia!
DPD looks reasonably priced. The Post Office is ridiculously expensive and they use DPD anyway. Direct with DPD cheapest is £52 for a 5kg parcel. Post Office is over £300.
Robo - I found a service that might work for you called Sendmybag - a service like this might work for you.Thanks for all the ideas folks.
I think the simplest option, given that our onward journey and exit point from Europe is somewhat unknown, and does not involve Santiago, will be to simply mail it home from a Post Offce near Stanstead.
(this is not related to our Madrid Camino - that's a lot simpler)
Your very fluid plans sound rather mysterious.we won't end in Santiago on this trip.........(different one)
Once we depart UK we will only have backpacks and where we go is very fluid.
So we won't be 'going back' to anywhere, and we won't even know where we will depart Europe from.
So we really need to ditch the suitcase in UK.
