I have a long distance walk planned this May in the UK. Does anyone know of a UK retailer who would take an order for canisters and ship surface to a UK (hotel) address?
Thanks.

That might explain why the UK vendors I have looked at on line, e.g. Hike Lite UK, ship canister stoves but not canisters.Mar 18, 2013 at 11:43 am #1967031They probably need to do an over-the-counter transaction so that they know that you are not some bloody terrorist.
