Popped in today for some decorating bits and saw they have the annual camping gear in again. Saw this:

Had a little look see while I was there, for 9 quid it isn't bad, not pocket rocket quality but a light and compact little burner that'll last a year easily. If anyone like me doesn't have a local gear shop <therefore has to stock up on gas when out and about as it can't be sent through the post> Wilkies also have the 250 size screw in canisters at 2 for 6 quid.
In reply to blanchie14c: The stove is a generic design manufactured in the Far East.

Numerous companies/retailers sell virtually identical versions, including Vango who add some orange anodising and sell them as their 'Compact Stove' for £15 - http://www.vango.co.uk/gas-stoves/compact-gas-stove.html

I've been using one for a couple of years and they work fine.

Ah, that's good to know, might mean I don't need to try and park in Keswick....!
