Gas availability abroad

The lack of Coleman Gas in France has been the subject of many previous discussions. I have spoken to representatives of 3 companies in France who say they will try to keep stocks in their stores.

These are: Decathlon, Intersport and Sport2000.

Usually you can find one of these in many French towns. Alternatively Markhill do 2 different adapters to use with screw fitted stoves. The Cartridge adapter, part number 92496000 take the piercable 190 gram cartridges and is much smaller and lighter than the Karrimor equivalent. Also Markhill do an adapter to allow the use of Camping Gaz sealable canisters on screw threaded stoves. This is part number 924971000.

If using a gas stove other than a Camping Gaz, either or both adapters would be a sensible choice to take on a tour abroad. Both of these can be obtained by mail order from Action Outdoors www.actionoutdoors.co.uk    Click here for the direct link to the gas converters.
