Re: Methylated Spirits in Shiel Bridge

Hi Mike
Fort William is a small town so everything is close to the bus station.
Outdoor shop Nevis Sport is about 200mtrs from the bus and does sell Triangia Meths stoves (and other types) so I would assume they could supply Meths.
Ellis Brigham outdoor shop opens up onto the Railway station car park, the bus station is right beside the railway station and you wouldn't even have to cross the busy road. Again about 200mtrs away.
Fort William claims to be the Outdoor capital of Britain. There should be lots of Meths available within 5 minutes of the bus.

Re: Methylated Spirits in Shiel Bridge

If you have time before your bus in Glasgow, there is a Tiso outdoor shop about a five minute walk from the Buchanan Street bus station. That's where I picked up my fuel last year when I did the Challenge.

Address is:

Tiso Glasgow Outdoor Experience, 50 Couper Pl, Glasgow G4 0DL, UK

This is assuming your bus leaves from the Buchanan Street bus station. Your post makes it sound like the bus leaves right from the airport, but I don't know if they do or not.

I called John for you and yes they do have meths in stock. He said email
him with your name and date of arrival and he will save it ready for you.

See you there.

Good shout Gaz!

Re: Methylated Spirits in Shiel Bridge

Regarding methylated spirit, may I recommend the Barrettine brand? Mr S & I agree that this really is the tipple of choice for the dedicated alfresco drinker.

Don't believe me? Judge for yourself. There are over 250 reviews on Amazon

Cheers!

Re: Methylated Spirits in Shiel Bridge

Thanks for all the replies!

I figured there would most likely be some kind of availability.

I wanted to be sure before I started my hike with no way to cook.

Thanks again everyone, Mike d
