Hi Everyone,
We're about to embark on this years first outing and we're keen to try out a Tilley Lamp that we've been given.
Does anyone know of a shop in Warrington that sells paraffin? (Have already tried the local camping shops but they don't stock it ... and couldn't tell us of anyone who does).

if all else fails some garages in our area sell it, and b&q sell paraffin heaters in the gardening section so they might be worth a try,one company that supply shops is this one they might know of some one in your area.

You will find that all the large DIY stores stock paraffin ainly in the garden centres for the greenhouse heaters. I have purchased it from B&Q and Homebase but anyone else who has a garden section will sell it too.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I've already tried Wilkinsons and got looked at as though I had two heads. I'll try B&Q and Homebase next. Thanks again!
